waccm_ghg

I'm trying to run the model with -DWACCM_GHG as a compiler option (horz=1.9x2.5, vert_lev=66, nadv=11) on our supercomputer, but it crashes during initializing due to wrong dimensions in an input file.
Is there any documentation concerning which namelist parameters that HAVE to be included?

The input files should be on the same grid as the model. You may have to interpolate the inputs files if they are not on a 1.9x2.5x66 grid. The preferred way to run with the GHG option is to use -chem waccm_ghg in the configure line of your build script.

Thanks for replying.

I also configure the model with -chem waccm_ghg. The DWACCM_GHG option I mentioned is from the -cppdefs DWACCM_GHG in the ---.xml file I use together with the configure executable. The command I use to configure the model is: ./configure -default ---.xml

To build the namelist I use the following command: ./build_namelist -config "path to the config_cache.xml file the above mentioned configure command made" -csmdata "Path to where the inputdata are situated"

The inputfile with wrong dimension is the inputdata/atm/waccm/tgcm/waccm-bnd-P-150-20-NO.nc

Are all inputfiles for both waccm_mozart and waccm_ghg options included with the downloadable data?

The GHG version was not planned to be a standard option for WACCM, and so the necessary files were not included in the distribution. However, we have been able to run it in this option using 3.1.9. Please download the build/run scripts, namelist and input files for the GHG version of WACCM from the community data portal (http://cdp.ucar.edu) under

models > WACCM (Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model) > WACCM-3 source code distribution > WACCM GHG

These scripts have been tested and work on the bluefire IBM P6 at 4x5 degree resolution. Let us know how you get on porting this configuration to your system.

That works very well on our system. I still have to do it manually with ./configure -default ---.xml and then run make.
But the model runs past the initialization procedure and seems to be stable. :)

Seems to be working for both 4x5 and 1.9x2.5 resolution. :D

Thanks alot!
