Weird problem with compset H running

Hi,I have been trying to run a CICE and OCEAN coupled model forced by CORE2, so I chose 'H' componet sets, shown as below./create_newcase -case test3 -res T62_g37 -compset H -mach cheetahThe model has been built successfully without any warning. However, it always unexpectly terminates after running. I checking log files, and noticed a weird thing: each time I submit the job, the 'ice_in' file under the 'run' directory always update
ice_ic = '/home/shane/CESM/inputdata/ice/cice/iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212'where /home/shane/CESM/inputdata is the directory I set for automatically downloading necessary grid/atmosphric force data. There is no /ice folder, why the model always asks for this non-exist restart file? It should be 'default' according the explanation of 'ice_ic'.
Therefore, ccsm.log file always reports the error:
--------------------CalcWorkPerBlock: Total blocks:   290 Ice blocks:   113 IceFree blocks:   147 Land blocks:    30
At line 86 of file /home/shane/CESM/cesm1_1_1/models/ice/cice/src/source/ice_read_write.F90 (unit = 83, file = '颧枱?')
Fortran runtime error: File '/home/shane/CESM/inputdata/ice/cice/iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212' does not exist---------------------
I checked all posible xml files and even change    in env_run.xml file. It doesn't work! Now I am desperate and scratch my head. Did I do anything wrong? Or it is a bug?

Look, what I am going to say is just a guess. Actually I did not find CICE documentation easily on CESM documentation files.Your complaint is just that the comp set H does not bring CICE initial data out of the box using the automated download procedure? It does not seem cesm complains about a missing restart file but a missing initial condition file which seems is the problem disallowing the model to run.

A couple things. First, what tag/version are you using? We do not routinely test or look at the H compset. I'm not even sure why it is there. I would highly recommend using the G compset instead. This message simply means that you have not exported this CICE initial file from the inputdata repository. Try re-running the check_input_data script.Dave

Actually, there does appear to be a bug in the input_data list generation as of CESM1.1. It is not finding the CICE initial files for some reason. I need to look into this further. For now add the following to cice.input_data_list in Buildconf:grid_file = $DIN_LOC_ROOT/ocn/pop/gx3v7/grid/horiz_grid_20030806.ieeer8kmt_file = $DIN_LOC_ROOT/ocn/pop/gx3v7/grid/topography_20100105.ieeei4ice_ic = $DIN_LOC_ROOT/ice/cice/iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212Dave
 
Thank you, Dave and Avenger -- Your timely reply saves me a whole night!I'll keep trying CICE+POP model. Version is 1.1.1.Just a quick question: what's the difference b.w. G, GIAF, and H compsets? I tried G first and found the problem and moved to H, but same thing happened.Anyway, the explanation of G and H are quite confusing. On http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.1/cesm/doc/usersguide_new/x51.html#ccsm_component_sets, it said G needs datm and drof, H only needs datm. Since I don't want drof at this stage, I selected H.However, on http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.1/cesm/doc/modelnl/compsets.html, G: Coupled ocean ice with COREv2 normal year forcingGIAF: Coupled ocean ice with COREv2 interannual forcingH: Coupled ocean ice slndThese descriptions are not consistant and complete. Also I confused by "interannual forcing" data and "normal year forcing". Any difference?What I want is a coupled CICE+POP model forced by CORE2 data, probably 1900-2000. So which compset is good for me?Shane

I just learned today what the H compset was for. It is meant to be used when one wants zero runoff, i.e. it is supposed to use the stub runoff component (SRNF). However, the H compset in CESM 1.1.1 is identical to G_NORMAL_YEAR or G. I would highly recommend you stick with the G compset. For information on the normal year versus the interannual forcing, I recommend you start here:http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.1/pop2/doc/faq/
 
Dave, I tried your method to add three items in cice.input_data_list,used G config,  >./create_newcase -case test3 -res T62_g37 -compset G -mach cheetah it doesn't work. Every time I update the file and rebuild the model, this file will automatically become empty files. So I have to download the /ice/cice/iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212 manually. However, some running error generated in ccsm.log, see the attached txt file.
Please give me some hints how to fix it. Thanks! shane

O.k. we are working on a fix. I was hoping that manually adding the names to the input data list would work. So, go to your inputdata area to $DIN_LOC_ROOT/ice/cice and do the following:svn export https://svn-ccsm-inputdata.cgd.ucar.edu/trunk/inputdata/ice/cice/iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212Then go to $DIN_LOC_ROOT/ocn/pop/gx3v7/grid and do:svn export https://svn-ccsm-inputdata.cgd.ucar.edu/trunk/inputdata/ocn/pop/gx3v7/grid/topography_20100105.ieeei4svn export https://svn-ccsm-inputdata.cgd.ucar.edu/trunk/inputdata/ocn/pop/gx3v7/grid/horiz_grid_20030806.ieeer8The password is the same as you used to download the code originally.Dave

The D compset is a whole other issue. This involves using the data ocean slab model. I recommend starting here for that:http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.1/data8/doc/x362.htmlI will talk to some of the software engineers about your other issue, but this looks like an MPI/OpenMP issue.Dave

This does appear to be a POP initialization problem, perhaps in the overflow parameterization. What are the init_ts_nml variables set to in CaseDocs/pop2_in? Also, do you have all of the appropriate initial files for POP in $DIN_LOC_ROOT/ocn/pop/gx3v7/ic?Dave
 
I have the same problem with compset BG1850CN. It doesn't create and download the cice directory and iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212 file, but the above lines could sovle the problem. But again, that's something I have to do each time I'm setting up a similar run.
