netcdf error rcode = -46 error = NetCDF: Invalid dimension ID or name when running interpinic

[alexander_koch_14@ucl_ac_uk]

I'm trying to interpolate between two land cover datasets (same resolution, one is potential vegetation, the other 1850 conditions) but currently get this error:abort: ./interpinic -i /home/ucfaako/Scratch/cesm/archive/lr_cc_spinpotveg/lnd/hist/lr_cc_spinpotveg.clm2.h0.0001-01-01-00000.nc -o /home/ucfaako/Scratch/cesm/archive/lr_cc_preind/lnd/hist/lr_cc_preind.clm2.h0.0800-01-01-00000.nc Mapping clm initial data from input to output initial files input numcols =         3045  output numcols =         5290 input numpfts =        28565  output numpfts =        28346 input numldus =         3045  output numldus =         2974 netcdf error rcode =          -46  error =  NetCDF: Invalid dimension ID or nameThere doesn't seem to be much online so any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers,Alex

Hi Alex,

I am currently working on running interpinic myself, and am getting the same error. Have you found any solution to this?

Thanks,
Taylor

Hi Taylor, From what it looks like, I think I used the wrong files for this (you need to use the restart .r. files). The correct workflow would be:1) create a new case, set the initial conditions to cold start, point fsurdat in user_nl_clm to your to new land surface file (e.g. fsurdat='/location/of/your/file/')2) run your case for a few days/years (depending on your resolution) until you have a clm restart file (YOURNEWLANDCOVER.clm2.r.XXXX.nc)3) now run interpinic -o YOURNEWLANDCOVER.clm2.r.XXXX.nc -i YOUROLDRUN.clm2.r.XXXX.nc (the run that you want to continue with the new land cover)4) copy YOURNEWLANDCOVER.clm2.r.XXXX.nc into YOUROLDRUN/run and rename it to YOUROLDRUN.clm2.r.XXXX.nc in there (or create a symbolic link, although that sometimes didn't work)That should be it. Let me know if you have any questions.Best,Alex
