Namelist.forcing bug while using AWICM3-v3.1.3

[ufukozkan]

Hi all,

I am trying to implement decoupling scheme(Modini technique) into AWICM3-v3.1.3. I am giving wind field to only FESOM to calculate wind stress. Other than that, everything is fully coupled. In order to that, I am reading files in namelist.forcing. I assigned new namelist variables as;

   nm_xmodini_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/uas.'        ! name of file with winds - only atmosphere/ocean coupling
   nm_ymodini_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/vas.'        ! name of file with winds - only atmo
sphere/ocean coupling
   nm_xmodini_var  = 'uas'   ! name of variable in file with wind
   nm_ymodini_var  = 'vas'   ! name of variable in file with wind

However, After doing that, esm-tools does not read the some variables in the section '&nam_sbc' while initiating the model.

I have attached namelist.forcing that model reads. (both default one and changed one)

namelist_forcing(changed).txt

What do you mean precisely with "esm-tools does not read some variables" in the namelist? ESM-Tools only reads namelists to modify them. How do you know it does not read some variables?

It would be helpful if you can paste here the original namelist that is given to ESM-Tools as input in yout runscript yaml and also paste the namelist that is process by esm-tools and ends up in the work folder.

Do you do any namelist_changes in the runscript yaml? the content of the runscript yaml would also be helpful.

Please, copy/paste the content here, do not append files.

I have add_namelist_changes section;

    add_namelist_changes:
        namelist.config:
            restart_log:
                logfile_outfreq: 48
            run_config:
                use_modini: true
                check_modini: false
                check_fesom: false
        namelist.forcing:
            nam_sbc:
                nm_xmodini_file: '/work/ab0995/a270265/data/JRA_modini/summed_JRA_v2/uas.summed.'
                nm_ymodini_file: '/work/ab0995/a270265/data/JRA_modini/summed_JRA_v2/vas.summed.'
                nm_xmodini_var: 'uas_summed'
                nm_ymodini_var: 'vas_summed'

The namelist.forcing file I get is:

&forcing_exchange_coeff
    ce_atm_oce = 0.00175
    ch_atm_oce = 0.00175
    cd_atm_oce = 0.001
    ce_atm_ice = 0.00175
    ch_atm_ice = 0.00175
    cd_atm_ice = 0.0012
    swind = 0.0

    aomip_drag_coeff = .false.
    ncar_bulk_formulae = .true.
    ncar_bulk_z_wind = 10.0
    ncar_bulk_z_tair = 10.0
    ncar_bulk_z_shum = 10.0

    use_landice_water = .false.
    landice_start_mon = 5

&nam_sbc
    nm_xwind_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/uas.'
    nm_ywind_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/vas.'
    nm_humi_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/huss.'

    nm_snow_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/prsn.'
    nm_mslp_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/psl.'
    nm_xmodini_file = '/work/ab0995/a270265/data/JRA_modini/summed_JRA_v2/uas.summed.'
    nm_ymodini_file = '/work/ab0995/a270265/data/JRA_modini/summed_JRA_v2/vas.summed.'
    nm_xmodini_var = 'uas_summed'
    nm_ymodini_var = 'vas_summed'

There are missing variables which is there in default;

    nm_xwind_var = 'uas'
    nm_ywind_var = 'vas'
    nm_humi_var = 'huss'
    nm_qsr_var = 'rsds'
    nm_qlw_var = 'rlds'
    nm_tair_var = 'tas'
    nm_prec_var = 'prra'
    nm_snow_var = 'prsn'
    nm_mslp_var = 'psl'
    nm_nc_iyear = 1900
    nm_nc_imm = 1
    nm_nc_idd = 1
    nm_nc_freq = 1
    nm_nc_tmid = 0
    l_xwind = .true.
    l_ywind = .true.
    l_humi = .true.
    l_qsr = .true.
    l_qlw = .true.
    l_tair = .true.
    l_prec = .true.
    l_mslp = .false.
    l_cloud = .false.
    l_snow = .true.
    nm_runoff_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/CORE2_runoff.nc'
    runoff_data_source = 'CORE2'
    nm_sss_data_file = '/work/ollie/clidyn/forcing/JRA55-do-v1.4.0/PHC2_salx.nc'
    sss_data_source = 'CORE2'

When I add new variables (nm_xmodini_file etc.), esm-tools does not read the other variables which comes after changes. If I do not add any namelist changes to forcing the esm-tools read the variables. All of the namelist files are from work folders.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. What version of ESM-Tools are you using? I am not sure what's going on, but it sounds like something that might have been solved in a recent version.
