Title: Regridding code throws an error
Issue: Regridding meteorological data for regional refined simulations intermittently fails throwing an error in the log file. Sometimes the regridding completes, even if the error is noted.IPT NCL regridding code does not recognize ncl
Issue: Casper has problems loading modules within a script (should be fixed by Dec 1), such as https://github.com/NCAR/IPT/blob/master/Meterological_Reanalysis_Data/Spectral_element_dycore/Gen_Data_ne0CONUSne30x8/Gen_MERRA2_ne0CONUSne30x8_mt12.csh
Model tags affected: Pre-simulation input data processing.
Fix: Initial CISL fix requiredwithin a PBS script use:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
source /etc/profile.d/z00_modules.csh
module load ncl |
More information:
Sometimes the script crashes because it cannot find the log directory. Add the following lines to fix:

Title: Topography file error 2022
Issue: Regional refined topography was in the incorrect location/orientation
Model tags affected: NCAR_Topo_2_0_1 files for regional refinement. An erroneous topography file was specified for use when creating variable resolution grids between April 2022 and Jan 2023.
Model response: Gravity waves impacted, incorrect transport, chemistry fields displaced
Fix: Reprocess topography and re-run model simulations. If you created your own grid during that period please checkout the updated code at: https://GitHub.com/NCAR/Topo and recreate your topography file for your grid and re-run any simulations. To check if your topography file has this error, plot ANGLL vs ANGLX. In a "good" topo-file these variables should have large differences. In a "bad" file they will be very close everywhere.
Also be sure to recreate any regridded met (GEOS or MERRA2) files that used the incorrect topo file.
