Problems outputting namelist items of "Qanth"

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi, I have tried to obtain urban energy fluxes carried out with CESM2.2.0, but it failed with error when I submit my case:
" NetCDF: Variable not found
NetCDF: Attribute not found
ERROR: ERROR in histFileMod.F90 at line 699 "

By browsing log file, I conclude that "Qanth" , a variable representing anthropogenic heat flux, can not be found correctly in CLM5 history fields. However, "Qanth" can be outputed normally when utilizing CESM1.2.0 - CLM4.0. Here is my user_nl_clm namelist file:
"hist_empty_htapes=.true.
hist_dov2xy=.True.,.false.
hist_fincl1='Qanth','Qh','Qle','Qstor','Rnet','SWdown','LWdown','SWup','LWup'
hist_fincl2='Qanth','Qh','Qle','Qstor','Rnet','SWdown','LWdown','SWup','LWup' "

I wonder how to solve it. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks a lot!

The output of that variable is tied to the old building energy model in CLM4, so it is only output when the CLM4 building energy model is active. Also, that set of variables were added for an urban model intercomparison study a number of years ago and probably should be removed now.
But you can get the equivalent of Qanth in CLM5 as "URBAN_HEAT" + "WASTEHEAT", which should be output in the CLM history files.
