copy the template.mpas_analysis_short.cfg into a new config file my_exercise2.cfg modify the output directories (both the baseDirectory and htmlDirectory) make one or two modifications in the tasks. We suggest: changing the year range in either climatology, timeseries, or both. (note that the available range is 2000-2014, go beyond that at your own peril!) adding tasks, such as indexNino34, climatologyMapSchmidtko, or streamfunctionMOC to the generate line.
You can find the list of tasks by running mpas_analysis --list in the terminal window (provided the e3sm-unified environment has been loaded). Some tasks are more time-consuming (e.g. regional profiles, regional time series) and will not be able to run within this 1hr tutorial. If attempting more time-consuming tasks, make sure to update the wall time and/or nodes in your job script (e.g. --time in job_script_template.cfg). modify the mpas-analysis command in job_script_template.slurm to point to your my_exercise2.cfg. Submit by running sbatch job_script_template.slurm. Once the job is done, open the html directory in your browser. (if you get a permission error, repeat the Ex1 step to change permissions using the chmod command).
Option 1: if the page does not exist, or is empty, double-check that the html path is consistent with your config file, then proceed to the Troubleshooting section. Option 2: if the page exists and the plots are present, congratulations! Navigate the available plots and answer the following questions. Q3.a. What additional plots are present? Note any additional features or differences compared to Q2.b. Beyond the plots produced, the post-processed output is available for your own analysis. In the terminal window, navigate to the analysis directory (the path is specified in your [output]/baseDirectory) and locate some example output files (.nc files):
Q3.b. Find the post-processed seasonal climatology of the ocean mixed layer depth in January-February-March. What is the full path to the relevant netcdf file? Q3.c. If you included the MOC task, find the longest post-processed timeseries of the meridional overturning circulation (“moc”). What is the full path to the relevant netcdf file? |
