Input Observational Forcing data

Hi,
I want to run the CESM in single column mode with the large scale forcings dataset from a campaign. The dataset in the ASCII format. I wanted to know, is there a way to read the large scale forcings from the ASCII files during the single-column model run.

I am new to CESM2 and appreciate any help pointing to the right direction.

Hi Arti,

Sadly the large-scale forcing inputs for a single-column (SCAM) simulation must be in NetCDF format. If you have already run an out-of-the-box SCAM simulation using one of the default configurations specified in the <CESM_DIR>/components/cam/bld/scripts/create_scam6_iop script, then you just need to convert your ASCII data into a NetCDF file with the same general configuration as the "iopfile" specified in the simulation's "user_nl_cam" file (which is located in the simulation's case directory).

Hope that helps, and have a great day!

Jesse
