Issue: generate_cylc_workflow.py not included with CESM2.1.0?

[bcash@gmu_edu]

I want to use generate_cylc_workflow.py for my suite of runs, but it seems this is not included in the checkout of release-cesm2.1.0.

It looks like manage_externals for CESM is pointing to the cime5.8.37 tag and if I check out cime5.8.37 directly generate_cylc_workflow.py is included. Should I just replace the cime directory in my release-cesm2.1.0 with cime5.8.37? Is there a specific reason release-cesm2.1.0 only includes a subset of cime5.8.37?

No - cime5.8.37 is not compatible with cesm2.1.x.
Your best option is to get the latest in the cesm2.1.x series: cesm2.1.3

Hi Jim - Thanks! I was focused on 2.1.0 because I want to recreate some of the DECK runs, specifically the DECK 2-degreee piControl. My understanding is those were run with 2.1.0. Is there a version of CIME that includes the generate workflow capability that I could use?

 

[jedwards]

Yup the only differences between 2.1.0 and 2.1.3 are the addition of more cmeps compsets and minor bug fixes. 2.1.3 is suitable to reproduce DECK experiments.

Thanks! Now I have a different, albeit related question. It is strongly recommended that you not clone across versions of cime. What then is the best way to reproduce a DECK experiment without using ./create_clone?

 

[jedwards]

You can safely use create_clone in this case.
