[MITgcm-support] verification_other case global_oce_cs32 fails at runtime in adjoint mode

[Dan Jones]

Hello.

Apologies for the cross-posting - I've posted this as a GitHub issue, but I
thought I should put it here as well.

I am trying to build and test the global_oce_cs32 verification_other
exercise using the code in the input_ad.sens directory. The forward case
compiles and runs without error. The adjoint case (built using TAF)
compiles without error, but at runtime I receive the following error in
STDOUT:

(PID.TID 0000.0001)  MDS_READVEC_LOC: open file: south30_maskT
(PID.TID 0000.0001)  MDS_RD_REC_RL: iRec,Dim =         9          1
(PID.TID 0000.0001)  MDS_READ_FIELD: filename: adm_boxmean_theta.0000000000.data
(PID.TID 0000.0001)  MDS_READ_FIELD: File does not exist

and this error in STDERR:

(PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR ***  MDS_READ_FIELD: filename:
adm_boxmean_theta.0000000000.data
(PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR ***  MDS_READ_FIELD: File does not exist

My MITgcm source code is up-to-date with the master. I am running on
archer.ac.uk <https://www.archer.ac.uk/> in parallel mode using 24 cores.

What should I try here? I haven't run into this error before using other
adjoint setups, at least not that I can recall. Should I just create an
empty "dummy" file to start with? Thanks in advance for any help/guidance.

Best regards,
Dan
