Problems running opts nos

[ddewolfe]

Hi there....

Started working thru Coherens V2.7 examples. All good until the optos nos model run.

Compiles and runs, but the optnosA.errlog fills up with repeated lines "Invalid Date/Time: £ Íì". About 200,000 of them within 15 seconds.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Dave

All,

Get the same error with the optos_csm and optos_bcz versions as well.

Help!

Hi there,

The optos_* test case are part of a triple nest study, where opt_csm provides data for opt_nos and opt_nos provides data for opt_bcz. The data are exchanged through a directory that the user should make himself, for example 'mkdir nestexchange'. In the directory where you run the test case opt_csm you should make a symbolic link called OUTDIR to 'nestexchange'. Do the same thing in the directories where you run opt_nos and opt_bcz.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

I have a lot of experience with various modelling software, but am new to coherens. Would it be a good idea to stick with V2.6 rather than 2.7.1 as the user manual is for 2.6? Or does it matter?

Hi, I would recommend 2.7, the main improvement the netcdf files are more 'clean', hence it is easier to produce nice plots. The manual is just finished and will be available soon (but in the end, things do not change dramatically, so the manual of 2.6 will still be fine too).

Nice you joined the forum!
