Incomplete Buildconf/cice.input_data_list

[liren]

Dear All,

When I'm trying to use the CESM2.1.3 ETEST compset and CESM successfully submitted the job. The job collapsed because CICE cannot find input files:

Then I check the "Buildconf/cice.input_data_list" and I found that the "grid_file" and "kmt_file" are not listed in "cice.input_data_list" file. The "Buildconf/cice.input_data_list" looks like this:

grid_file = $CESM_ROOT/cime/output/inputdata/
kmt_file = $CESM_ROOT/cime/output/inputdata/

I found this issue in github: Buildconf/cice.input_data_list incomplete #19 and the relative issue: fix issue with ice_ic and update cimeroot #20. These two issues describe the problems similar to mine. I also tried to search and download the two files above but I didn't find those files.

Seems like the error arise from some mistakes in download file list or something. Do you have any suggestions to fix this?

Sincerely,
Liren

What resolution are you using for the sea ice and ocean? Sounds like there is no grid file for your choice of resolution.

Thank you for your kindly reply!

My grid resolution is "f09_f09_mg17". Maybe this resolution are not suitable for ETEST compset. But I didn't found appropriate grid resolution because ETEST is not a "Scientific / Tested" compset. Would you mind suggest me some suitable resolution that might be effective? Thanks in advance!

That is the problem. Since the E compset actually uses fully active sea ice and a slab ocean model, you will want to use a resolution combination as in the fully-coupled situation. So, for example, f09_g17_mg17. Make sure you do not use ETEST. This is as it suggests for testing purposes. You will need an E compset and make sure you should the appropriate SOM forcing file (DOCN_SOM__FILENAME in env_run.xml). There is more here:

FAQ: Data ocean slab mode (DOCN-SOM)

I get numerous questions about the new SOM in the data ocean model of CESM. So, I thought it appropriate to add a sort of FAQ here. 1. Why does the SOM mode no longer run out of the box? Earlier versions were set up with a test SOM forcing file (pop_frc.1x1d.090130.nc) This forcing file was...

I met the same problem as yours. Same errors in the log file and the same cice.input_data_list. My grid resolution is also "f09_f09_mg17". I'm not sure if the errors are due to the incorrect grid resolution or the incorrect SOM forcing file.

Yes, the ocean resolution f09 in "f09_f09_mg17" doesn't have a appropriate SOM forcing file. Just as described in the link provided by #4, there are several SOM forcing file and all of them have different ocean grid resolution. You should check the SOM forcing file carefully.

By the way, I used default forcing file with "f09_g16" grid resolution eventually. Hope this infomation may help you and other people
