• esmf: Earth System Modeling Framework

• nco: NCO (ncremap can generate aave maps, and also serve as a frontend to esmf and tr/mbtr)

• tr: Tempest RemapTempestRemap

• mbtr: (for MOAB-Tempest).TempestRemap

• cstm: A custom tool (such as used for river to ocean maps)

...

• aave: Maps which compute a common refinement (intersection) mesh and then integrate a piecewise-constant reconstruction.

  • can be produced by: ESMF, NCO and TR/MBTR

  • pros: conservative, montonone, cell averaging good for fine-to-coarse maps.

  • cons: 1st order accurate, not suitable for coarse-to-fine maps (blocky results)

  • examples: esmfaave, ncoaave, traave

• bilin: bilinear interpolation

  • can be produced by: ESMF, TR/MBTR

    • ESMF: ESMF_RegridWeightGen -s srcmesh.nc -d dstmesh.nc -w mapfile.nc --method bilinear --extrap_method nearestidavg

    • TempestRemap:

      1. GenerateOfflineMap --a srcmesh.nc --b dstmesh.nc --out ov_mesh.nc --allow_no_overlap

      2. GenerateOfflineMap --in_mesh srcmesh.nc --out_mesh dstmesh.nc --ov_mesh ov_mesh.nc --in_type fv --out_type fv --method bilin --out_map mapfile.nc

    • mbtempest: mbtempest --t type 5 --l load srcmesh.nc -l -load dstmesh.nc --i intx intersection_mesh.h5m --weights -w -m method fv -m -method fv --o order 1 --o order 1 --fvmethod bilin --f file mapfile.nc

  • pros: monotone, 2nd order accurate

  • cons: non-conservative. not suitable for fine-to-coarse maps (aliasing errors)

  • examples: esmfbilin, trbilin

• patch: patch based algorithm (L2 projection?).

  • can be produced by: ESMF only

  • pros: accurate. good for coarse-to-fine maps. not sure how it performance on fine-to-coarse maps.

  • cons: can have small non-monotone weights

  • examples: esmfpatch

• intbilin: Integrated bilinear or trilinear (TR/MBTR only)

  • can be produced by: TR, MBTR only.

  • pros: monotone, 2nd order, good for fine-to-coarse and coarse-to-fine maps.

  • cons: TR software may have some issues when source grid has holes.

  • examples: trintbilin, mbtrintbilin

  • trintbilin: Pass --method intbilin option to TempestRemap’s GenerateOfflineMap

  • mbtrintbilin: Pass --fvmethod intbilin option to mbtempest

• fv2 (or fvnp2): 2nd order FV reconstruction, cell integrated on target grid (TR/MBTR only)

  • pros: 2nd order, conservative

  • cons: not monotone

  • monotone via new E3SM v3 coupler’s nonlinear fixer /wiki/spaces/COM/pages/3771301899

  • examples: trfv2

• nn: nearest neighbor

  • used with river runnoff maps
