Running Supported Single-point/Regional Datasets

In addition to PTS_MODE the CLM supports running using single-point or regional datasets that are customized to a particular region. In the section below we tell the user how to create their own dataset, but we also support a small number of single-point and regional datasets that are ready to setup and run in the CCSM modeling system.

To get the list of supported dataset resolutions see , which results in the following:

build-namelist - valid values for res: default 128x256 64x128 48x96 32x64 8x16 94x192 0.23x0.31 0.47x0.63 0.9x1.25 1.9x2.5 2.65x3.33 4x5 10x15 5x5_amazon 1x1_tropicAtl 1x1_camdenNJ 1x1_vancouverCAN 1x1_mexicocityMEX 1x1_asphaltjungleNJ 1x1_brazil 1x1_urbanc_alpha
                  default = 1.9x2.5
                  (NOTE: resolution and mask and other settings may influence what the default is)

The resolution names that have an underscore in them ("_") are all single-point or regional resolutions. To run with the supported single-point and regional datasets, you setup a simulation for the "pt1_pt1" resolution and give the short-name for the file to use in the env_conf.xml file. Then to run for the urban MexicoCity Mexico test site do the following:

> cd scripts
> create_newcase -case testSPDATASET -res pt1_pt1 -compset I \
-mach bluefire
> cd testSPDATASET
> xmlchange -file env_conf.xml -id CLM_1PT_NAME -val 1x1_mexicocityMEX

Then configure, build and run normally.

Important: Just like PTS_MODE above, By default it sets up to run with USE_MPISERIAL (in the env_build.xml file) turned on, which allows you to run the model interactively. On some machines this mode is NOT supported and you may need to change it to FALSE before you are able to build.

Warning

Currently the urban locations are NOT functional, because the surface datasets need to be updated.
