  NERSC Directory Change Notice  

Due to project's name change at NERSC from 'ACME' to 'E3SM' and NERSC’s file system update, the directory  '/project/projectdirs/acme/' is now '/cfs/cdirs/e3sm'

mapping files and mesh template filesTempestRemapC++

GenerateCSMesh:  make cubed sphere  Exodus (.g) files (spectral element "np" grid)
GenerateVolumetricMesh  create a FV "pg" from a spectral element "np" grid
ConvertExodusToSCRIP convert a FV "pg" Exodus file into a SCRIP file
GenerateOverlapMesh:  used in making mapping files
GenerateOfflineMap:  generate mapping files.  Only tool which can make mapping files directly from SE Exodus files.  

RRM Exodus (.g)  mesh filesSquadGenC++
topo fileshomme_toolFortran

Included with E3SM.  Should build and run on any system which can run the HOMME_P24.f19_g16_rx1.A test

Generate (obsolete) SCRIP files for the spectral element "np" dual grid

Used for topo smoothing for both FV "pg" and SE "np" grids. 

Can also do parallel interpolation from SE np4 grid to any SCRIP grid

topo filescube_to_targetFortranNCAR utility for generating unsmoothed topography from high-res USGF data, and generating surface roughness fields from smoothed topography

Make FV->FV mapping files from SCRIP grid template files

Only tool which supports the montone 2nd order "bilin" map

ELM initial conditioninterpinicFortran

4 options:

  1. cold start: (no IC file).  only suitable for testing functionality in other components.
  2. Run long spinup with prescribed atmosphere 
  3. Interpolate from a spunup IC file from a different simulation, via "interpinc" utility
  4. Inline interpolation for land initial condition is available in E3SM code, but this capability might get broken with the new land subgrid structure




For the purpose of this step-by-step guide, we will walk through each step using an example of regenerating the ne4 grid that is already currently supported. For a new grid (i.e., ne512), just replace ne4 with the desired grid identifier. This is determined in Step 1 Generate a new "grid" file below, and the rest should follow.

TempestRemap needs to be built from source from the Github repository. This is straightforward on Cori and Edison. Note that a parallel version of netCDF should be used. This can be accomplished on cori/edison be executing module swap cray-netcdf cray-netcdf-hdf5parallel or by sourcing an env_mach_specific.sh from a working case on the target machine before building. Then,
