Calendar type gregorian not recognised

[yaweiqu]

Hi,

I am using UM11.2 UKESM to do some nudging simulations. I'm trying to convert a 360day suite (u-bj793) to Gregorian and active nudging (u-bj856). The suite u-bj856 crashed with error as follows:

[WARN] file:STASHC: skip missing optional source: namelist:exclude_package(:)

The changes I've made including ​https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/changeset/120422 and ​https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/changeset/120366.

Could you please help me to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Best,

Sorry. The old 360day suite is u-bi793.

The suite sets CALENDAR="gregorian", but the driver is checking for

calendar = runtime_envarCALENDAR?…
elif calendar == '365day':

so it fails - this may be fixed somewhere. We'll need to check.

You could change the code in

/home/d03/yaweiqu/cylc-run/u-bj856/share/fcm_make_drivers/build/bin/common.py

to refer to gregorian rather than 356day.

Are you in contact with the UKESM team - changing calendars may not be a simple operation; they should be able to advise.

Hi Grenville,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry I haven't contacted the UKESM team regarding this calendar problem. I'm not sure who would know the solution to this so I just created the help ticket.

I also found a similar 365day setting in /home/d03/yaweiqu/roses/u-bj856/tests-runtime.rc.

DAYS_ELAPSED_AT_CYCLE= $(rose date --calendar=365day ${CYLC_SUITE_INITIAL_CYCLE_POINT} ${CYLC_TASK_CYCLE_POINT} -f d)

I changed the 365day to gregorian in both common.py and tests-runtime.rc. Then I reloaded the suite u-bj856. This 3-month test succeeded.

However, if I run the suite with rose suite-run —new instead of —reload, the suite fails again. I think this might because /home/d03/yaweiqu/cylc-run/u-bj856/share/fcm_make_drivers/build/bin/common.py is a file copied from the source code for every cycle run. It will remain '365day' for each new run if I don't change the source code.

Do you know how to change the source code, or whom (UKESM team) should I contact?

Many thanks,
Yawei

Hi Yawei

You can change the source code - we run a training course which covers this and much more. The training material is available, see http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/UmTraining/April2019 for presentations and practicals. We will be running a course later in the year.

I shall update the UKESM team re 365day and gregorian.

rose suite-run —new does rebuild everything - but rarely needs to be used.

Hi Grenville,

Thanks for the info.

Since u-bj856 (3-mon test) succeeded, I copied it to u-bk172 and changed the runtime to 5 years. But u-bk172 failed at the begining of the second year (2015) with error:

The suite u-bk172 (or u-bj856) is a nudging version of u-bi793. u-bi793 had run 5-years and ended without error, so I think the error might occur because of the changes I've made:
​https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/changeset/120366
​https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/changeset/120422
​https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/changeset/121871.

I've seen the GET_EMFILE_REC error in #2679 and #2787 - it's because some of my emission files have the wrong time. However, there's no difference in emission files between u-bi793 and u-bk172, except for the files compatible with Gregorian calendar, such as:

easyaerosol_dir='/projects/ukca-admin/inputs/ancil/n96e/cmip6/VolcanicAod/tseries_1850-2014/365d'
...
ukca_em_files='/projects/ukca-admin/inputs/ancil/n96e/cmip6/AeroChemEms/clim_2000/v1/aerocom/ukca_emiss_SO2_nat_grg.nc',
...
             ='/projects/ukca-admin/inputs/ancil/n96e/cmip6/AeroChemEms/tseries_1850-2014/CH4_biomass_low_1849_2015_time_series_grg.nc',

The error might be related to the ancil files above, because some of them are 1850-2014 while my simulation is 2014-2019. I don't know if there are other files with proper time series that can be used for my nudging/Gregorian suite. Do you have any idea about this?

Cheers,
Yawei
