Running Diagnostics on personal computer

[gerald_potter@nasa_gov]

I have NCL, NCO, etc installed on my personal MAC laptop (10.8) and I want to run the diagnostic package locally. I have a test case run and a control run in the appropriate directories. I get this error when I run the diagnostics:.

I'm sure I am doing something wrong but I have no idea. Can somebody help? ThanksJerry

I have made some progress and no longer get the error but now I have another question. I want the netcdf files saved so that I can look at them and plot using other packages but I don't know where the package puts them. Also, I would like to save the postscript plots. I have the correct setting for both of these but I don't seem to be able to find the files that are written. I thought they would be in /diag/$test_casename but they aren't. The directory is empty.

My problem may be NCO. What version is required? I am running a version built September 16, 2010.

I am using NCO 4.2.0 with diag121205.csh with Swift turned on. You are probably not using swift, but it should work the same with Swift turned off.

 

[gerald_potter@nasa_gov]

Thanks but SWIFT is already turned off.

I have it working now. The mac version of NCO was the problem. I am now running the diagnostic package with Ubuntu 13.04. One major problem is that when it calculates DJF it crashes and says  "index out of range". the DJF climo files are not calculated in either the test or cntl case. All the other seasons are calculated fine. This doesn't appear to be a problem with my setup.

You must supply the previous December monthly mean and/or the following January and February monthly means. For example, if you specify years starting at 81 and going for 20 years (note that this corresponds to model years 0081-0100), you must also have 0080-12 and/or 0101-01, 0101-02 in the specified directory. This is so the DJF averages can be correctly computed.

Thanks,I did this.. I start with the second year (year 2) so it has the previous December (from December year 1). There is also an extra year at the end for January and February. I still get:COMPUTING MONTHLY CLIMOS FOR test

Hi Jerry,Plesae could you attach the script you are using (with the exact setting you used when it generated the error above) . ThanksCecile 

 

[gerald_potter@nasa_gov]

I have sent the script via email.

I set up Jerry to run on caldera.
