Questions

• How do I run the model diagnostics packages?

Objectives

ADF can also be used to run the AMWG diagnostics package and the CVDP package. AMWG is desigend to compare CAM or CAM-like simulations against other CAM simulations, observations, reanalysis or model comparison sets. THis can be run in Jupyter Notebook:

Start NCAR JupyterHub and open a Jupyter Notebook with Kernel NPL2024a

Change to the ADF directory and make a copy of the config_cam_baseline_example.yaml file. Open that copied file and make the following changes:

user - use your NCAR ursename

compare_obs - set true if you want to compare your run with observations or false if you want to compare two runs

hist_str - [cam.h0, cam.h1]

cam_case_name - the name of the case run (no path included)

cam_hist_loc - where the h# history files live (example for my run.2 case: /glade/derecho/scratch/cstan/archive/${diag_cam_climo.cam_case_name}/atm/hist)

start_year, end_year - climo years desired

Save the yaml file and open the jupyter_sample.ipynb notebook. Modify the line

config_file=os.path.join(adf_code,"config_cam_baseline_example.yaml")

to reflect the name of your yaml file.
