build-namelist now checks the validity of your namelist you generate by looking at data in the namelist_definition.xml file. In order to add new namelist items you need to change the code and also edit this file (e.g. a namelist option required for your research project that is not currently an option in CLM). To view information on the namelist view the file: models/lnd/clm/bld/namelist_files/namelist_definition.xml in a browser and you'll see the names, type, description and valid_values for all namelist variables.
Changes to build-namelist:
Allow simulation year entered to include ranges of years (i.e. 1850-2000) |
Remove cam_hist_case option. |
Make sure options ONLY used for stand-alone testing have a "drv_" or "datm_" prefix in them and list these options all together and last when asking for help from build-namelist. |
New option to build-namelist:
-clm_usr_name "name" Dataset resolution/descriptor for personal datasets. Default: not used Example: 1x1pt_boulderCO_c090722 to describe location, number of pts, and date files created |
New list options to build-namelist
build-namelist -res list # List valid resolutions build-namelist -mask list # List valid land-masks build-namelist -sim_year list # List valid simulation years and simulation year ranges build-namelist -clm_demand list # List namelist variables including those you could # demand to be set. build-namelist -use_case list # List valid use-cases |
New use-cases for build-namelist:
1850_control = Conditions to simulate 1850 land-use 2000_control = Conditions to simulate 2000 land-use 20thC_transient = Simulate transient land-use, aerosol and Nitrogen deposition from 1850 to 2005 |
New namelist items:
urban_hac = OFF, ON or ON_WASTEHEAT (default OFF) Flag for urban Heating and Air-Conditioning OFF = Building internal temperature is un-regulated. ON = Building internal temperature is bounded to reasonable range. ON_WASTEHEAT = Building internal temperature is bounded and resultant waste heat is given off. urban_traffic = .true. or .false. Flag to include additional multiplicative factor of urban traffic to sensible heat flux. (default .false.) fsnowoptics = filename file for snow/aerosol optical properties (required) fsnowaging = filename file for snow aging parameters (required) faerdep = filename file of aerosol deposition (required) |
More information on the build-namelist options are given in in the Section called Definition of Namelist items and their default values in Chapter 1.
