Warning15 Apr 2020 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 '
NERSC DECK v1 simulation original model output has been archived on NERSC HPSS using zstash (the quickstart quide is https://e3sm-project.github.io/zstash/docs/html/quickstart.html ). Please contact Zeshawn Shaheen (Unlicensed) for help with zstash. . See below for some examples on how to retrieve files using zstash. For a more information, refer to the zstash documentation . The table below lists output location for the various simulations. Note that some archives initially contained a few corrupted files. These problems have all been corrected .

Retrieving data with zstash Below are some basic examples on how to retrieve DECK output data on NERSC. You can retrieve directly from NERSC Cori machine, but for better performance we strongly recommend login to one of the NERSC DTNs (data transfer nodes: dtn<01…04>.nersc.gov). The example below relies on the E3SM unified environment. Alternatively, you can also install zstash in your own conda environment (see zstash documentation ).
Activate environment If you are using bash shell:
Code Blocksource /global/cfs/cdirs/e3sm/software/anaconda_envs/load_latest_e3sm_unified.sh
If you are using csh shell: Code Blocksource /global/cfs/cdirs/e3sm/software/anaconda_envs/load_latest_e3sm_unified.csh
Examples Retrieve selected cam.h0 files from piControl Let's say you want to retrieve all cam.h0 (monthly atmosphere output files) between years 0030 and 0069 for the piControl simulation. The zstash command would be
Code Blockzstash extract --hpss=/home/g/golaz/2018/E3SM_simulations/repaired/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison "*.cam.h0.00[3-6]?-??.nc"
where /home/g/golaz/2018/E3SM_simulations/repaired/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison
is the path on HPSS listed in the table above, and " *.cam.h0.00[3-6]?-??.nc
" is a matching pattern to select all cam.h0 files between years 0030 and 0069, enclosing it in double quotes avoids shell level substitution.
The extracted files will be stored in a sub-directory structure that preserves the original structure:
Code Blockarchive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0030-01.nc
