Aerosol emissions files attributes

[laurahb]

Hi,
I've managed to get hold of some CMIP6 aerosol emissions files on ARCHER (in /work/y07/y07/umshared/CMIP6_ANCIL/data/ancils/n96e/timeseries_1850-2014/AerosolChemistryEmissions/v2)- these have been made with GA7.1 in mind I think. I'm trying to run with these in my suite u-ba234, which is a GA7.0 suite.

I'm getting the following error:
Error in EM_GET_VAR_ATT_CHAR: Get Attribute for GLOBAL: NetCDF: Attribute not found - emission_type

and having looked at the file attributes it seems that these emissions files are missing this global attribute (and it's also missing the um_version attribute which also appears in the CMIP5 files I'd previously been using in my suite).

Is there any kind of fix/work-around for the GA7.0 code so that it can read these emissions files without needing these attributes?

Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura,

What's the status of this - are you still having problems?

Hi,
I've found a solution myself now (adding the attributes to the file using ncatted).
