Questions

• What are some common run time configuration changes?

• How do I make these changess?

Objectives

The process of going from history files to timeseries files and to convert 3D atmospheric data from the model coordinate system to selected pressure levels. We will learn how to use the CESM Postprocessing Tools

$ cd postprocess/
$ cp /glade/u/home/dbailey/timeseries .

Edit timeseries:

• edit walltime (=30 minutes for a short run)
• edit project number
• edit CASE (=casename)
• edit CASEROOT (=where the model data sits, but do not include the casename, e.g., /glade/derecho/scratch/cstan)

Edit the settings of env_postprocess.xml file using pp_config.

Set where the output should be written. You have to create this directory. If not set the output will be written in DOUT_S_ROOT.

$ pp_config --set TIMESERIES_OUTPUT_ROOTDIR=/glade/derecho/scratch/$USER/diagnostics-output/tseries

Run the postprocessing:

$ qsub timeseries
