regional single-point test run

[wvsi3w]

Dear

My post from 7/13/23 in this same thread noted:

"In looking at this in more detail, it doesn't look like this example is supported by recent versions of the model (e.g., release-cesm2.1.3), sorry. The surface dataset for Alaska doesn't come out of the box anymore and the dataset that I found doesn't have GLACIER_REGION on it which is now required."

If you want to run a single-point or regional simulations, then you'll need to create datasets (domain files, surface datasets, etc.) for them, following instructions given here:

1.3.4. Creating input for surface dataset generation — ctsm release-clm5.0 documentation

Your post on 8/27/24 seemed to indicate that you were on this path to create a single point domain file and surface dataset, but you've now gone back to trying to run the Alaska example using existing datasets that are outdated. I think you should try creating the single point domain file and surface dataset and then we can help you to run the model with them. You should update to release-cesm2.1.5 however, as that is the supported version of the release.

Dear Keith,
Thank you for your response.
My apologies, I thought maybe that Glacier error was related to the mask being gx1v6 and I thought maybe with my shallow understanding I can fix this, sorry. I shouldn't have tested it again.
Yes, you are right I need to focus on the guidance from the documentation for my single-point simulation. I will focus on my own single-point simulation steps then (including surface dataset, using my own forcing data, etc)
