Domain Namelist

The namelist parameters listed in Table 7 are for computational domain decomposition information. These are generally set in the build configure scripts based on the number of processors. See the CESM scripts documentation.


Table: Namelist Variables for Domain Decomposition Information (domain_nml)
Varible Type Default Value Description
processor_shape Character 'square-pop' Approximate block shapes
ew_boundary_type Character 'cyclic' Boundary conditions in E-W direction
ns_boundary_type Character 'open' Boundary conditions in N-S direction
distribution_type Character 'cartesian' How blocks are split onto processors
      'cartesian'
      'spacecurve'
      'rake'
distribution_wght Character 'erfc' How blocks are weighted when using space-filling curves (erfc or file)
distribution_wght_file Character '' File containing space-filling curve weights when not using erfc weighting
