[MITgcm-support] problem with data.exf and dates

[Manfredi Manizza]

Hi,

I am having problems with data.exf where I want the model to read the 
forcing files
of a specific year, like 1992, 1993, etc.

Model works fine but then it messes up with the runoff file which is a 
12-month climatology
to be repeated each year.

This is what I have got in data.exf :

useExfYearlyFields = .TRUE.,
  twoDigitYear      = .FALSE.,
  exf_iprec         = 32,
  exf_yftype        = 'RL',
  useExfCheckRange  = .FALSE.,
# repeatPeriod      = 31536000.,

Files are :

EIG_u10m_1979

Then I have

uwindfile         = 'input/EIG_u10m',

and it works fine !

but then

  runofffile = '/nobackupp1/mmanizza/llc90/test1/input/test_runoff.bin',

and this is the error :

PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR ***  MDS_READ_FIELD: filename: 
/nobackupp1/mmanizza/llc90/test1/input/test_runoff.bin_1991.data
(PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR ***  MDS_READ_FIELD: File does not exist

Is attaching the non existing part "_1991.data" so , as expected, it 
does not find the file.....

One way would be to rename the same runoff file with progressive years 
and "fool" the model
but I was looking for a more elegant solutions.

Suggestions anyone ?

Thanks in advance
Manfredi
