"No Convergence" Error in POP

[taylor_hughlett@gmail_com]

Hi there. I've been doing some troubleshooting with Nan Rosenbloom, and she suggested that I put this error on this forum.What I am attempting to do is a paleo run for the Younger Dryas based on the TraCE-21 experiments. What we have done so far is start with an OTB simulation, added in DGVM and then began to add in Younger Dryas mapping and restart files one by one. I've officially added in all of the mapping and restart files, but I get the following error in POP:POP exiting...    no convergence at time step    1 Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is? The path to the case directory is:/glade/p/work/hughlett/test The path to the run directory is:/glade/scratch/hughlett/test Thank you in advance for your time and help.

The previous post can be ignored. I managed to solve the problem myself. However, I have now discovered a new problem while trying to implement the BGC_2 model into my CCSM3 simulation.The model simply hangs, and eventually times out when I run out of wallclock time.The case in which this is happening is as follows:Case: /glade/p/work/hughlett/branch

Run: /glade/scratch/hughlett/branchThank you!

You've been doing this one step at a time right?   If you back out the last change that you made does it run further?

Yeah, I've been doing this one step at a time. When I back up one step, it runs successfully. It's with the implementation of BGC_2 and the necessary files that go with it in src.pop that it starts to hang.

Hi Taylor,Could yout tell me what the problem was when you were getting this POP exiting message? Cause I have the same problem...Thanks in advance,Amanda

Hi Amanda,I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but what I did was change the way I was running my case. I originally had the case type set to hybrid, as that was what I had been running it as on Bluefire. When I switched it over to a branch simulation, the error went away and I was able to run through the simulation successfully.I hope this helps.

Hi Taylor,Ok thank you, I will see if in my case it can have to do with that, mine is a startup run.
Liebe Grüße,Amanda
