Getting UKCA running in a nudged configuration

[fcentoni]

Hi,

I am trying to get my UKCA job (v7.3) running in a nudged configuration on Archer following the instructions available on the UKCA wiki page.
At some point,it is said to add an hand_edit file that is nudg_update_on_LXX_hector.ed.

I think this hand_edit file is Hector specific so I was wondering,is there any equivalent hand_edit file which is good for Archer?

Many thanks.
Regards,
Federico.

Hi Federico,

We are currently working out some licensing issues on dealing with ERA-Interim on ARCHER, and as such nudging is not currently available. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I will chase this up and get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Luke

Good Morning Luke,

I too need to run some nudging experiments using ERA-Interim. Could you give us an idea as to how long you think it will take to resolve these issues?

Regards,

Chris.

Dear Chris,

The licensing issues have been resolved, and I am currently attempting to copy the forcing files across to ARCHER. However, this is being a little problematic. I will update this ticket when they are in place.

Many thanks,
Luke

Dear Federico, Chris,

The ERA-Interim files have been copied across to ARCHER and can be found at

/work/n02/n02/ukca/analyses/era-in

Please update your hand-edits to use this directory.

Let me know if you have any more problems.

Many thanks,
Luke

Hi Luke,

thank you very much for sorting that issue out.

I am trying to get my model running in a nudged configuration but it failed.

I have just realized that it may be due to the my model resolution which is N48 and to the fact the ancillary files for 365 calendar are currently available for the N96 version as you can see in the xketb000.xketb.d14203.t163747.leave file :

ERROR!!! in reconfiguration in routine Setup_LSM_Out
 Error Code:-  50
 Error Message:- Number of land points does not agree with input namelist!
 Error generated from processor  0
 *****************************************************************************

So I was wondering, am I supposed to create a new branch from fcm:um_br/dev/luke/VN7.3_UKCA_CheM in order to get a version of the model running in a nudged configuration?

If so, do you think that I can merge my committed version of the model (including the changes I made on the code) into the copy of the N96 branch?

Many thanks.
Federico

Hi,

I am still trying to get the model running in a nudged configuration.

I first attempted to run from the repository (fcm:um_br/dev/luke/VN7.3_UKCA_CheM @9278) having set up a new job according to Ptelford instructions but it turned that my job (xketa) failed twice during compilation.

Could you please help me out with that?

Looks like the compile issue was re-raised as #1348
