SpinupStability_v10.ncl error

[tenghao]

I tried to use ncl SpinupStability_v10.ncl to judge whether the operation has reached a balanced state, but it failed. Prompt:



fatal:conform_dims: The array to be conformed must have the same number of dimensions as indicated by the length of the last argument

fatal:["Execute.c":8637]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 229 in file SpinupStability_v10.ncl



I have used the atmospheric driving data for three years (2010-2012) and saved it as a result every month. How can I solve this error and make SpinupStability_v10.ncl work normally?




In addition, I saw in the forum that it must be saved as a file every month or every year before it can be run. How to change this situation, for example, save it in an h0 file for 12 months, read the monthly results in this file and run SpinupStability_v10.ncl.

How many times have your cycled over the atmospheric data? As the comment in the script says:

You need a run consisting of at least three cycles of atmospheric data.

Is this a single-point simulation?

The script supports either monthly history files, one file per month, or annual average history files. If you want to add a third option, you'lll have to modify the script yourself.

It looks like the error is associated with this line:

landareaC = conform_dims(dimsizes(totecosysc),landarea,(/1/)) ; conforming dimensions of landarea to totecosysc

For the single point simulation option you've selected, the variables landfrac and area (which are used to calculate landarea) should have a single dimension named lndgrid, and the variable TOTECOSYSC should have the dimensions (time,lndgrid).
