$CTSMROOT/README.CHECKLIST.new_case 03/01/2021

|
|
|
This is a check list of things to do when setting up a new case in order to help ensure everything is correct. There
|
|
are lots of tiny details that need to be right and it's easy to get something wrong. So the first screening to make
|
|
sure it's right is for you to carefully check through your case and make sure it's right.
|
|
|
|
The following assumes you have created a new case and are in it's case directory.
|
|
|
|
General Checklist to always do:
|
|
|
|
- Make sure CLM_ env settings are correct
|
|
(./xmlquery -p CLM)
|
|
- Make sure you are using the correct CLM_PHYSICS_VERSION
|
|
(./xmlquery -p CLM_PHYSICS_VERSION)
|
|
- Make sure you are running the appropriate overall CLM vegetation model.
|
|
The "-bgc" option of either Satellite Phenology (sp), or
|
|
Full BioGeoChemistry (bgc), or FATES (fates)
|
|
(./xmlquery -p CLM_BLDNML_OPTS)
|
|
- Also if you are running the bgc model, check to see if you should be running the prognostic crop model
|
|
(option -crop in CLM_BLDNML_OPTS)
|
|
- Make sure the LND_TUNING_MODE is correct
|
|
(./xmlquery LND_TUNING_MODE)
|
|
- For an "I compset" make sure you are running over the right forcing years
|
|
(usually ./xmlquery -p DATM_YR)
|
|
- Again for an "I compset" make sure the DATM streams are operating over the right years
|
|
(look at the CaseDocs/datm.streams.xml file)
|
|
- First and align year for streams should be the start year of a historical simulation
|
|
(./xmlquery RUN_STARTDATE)
|
|
(grep stream_year_first CaseDocs/lnd_in; grep model_year_align CaseDocs/lnd_in)
|
|
- Last year for streams should be the last year you are going to run to (or beyond it)
|
|
(grep stream_year_last CaseDocs/lnd_in)
|
|
- Make sure you are starting from appropriate spunup initial conditions
|
|
(Check the run-type with: ./xmlquery RUN_TYPE)
|
|
(check finidat for a startup or hybrid simulation: grep finidat CaseDocs/lnd_in)
|
|
(check nrevsn for a branch simulation: grep nrevsn CaseDocs/lnd_in)
|
|
- Run for a month (or some short period) and go over the log files and especially the settings and files read in them.
|
|
(For an I case you especially want to look at the lnd.log and atm.log files)
|
|
|
|
Some other suggestions on things that can be done:
|
|
|
|
- Compare namelist files to an existing case if you are doing something almost the same as a previous simulation.
|
|
- Ask another collaborator to look over your case directory
