NERSC
DECK v1 simulation original model output has been archived on NERSC HPSS using zstash. See below for some examples on how to retrieve files using zstash. For a more information, refer to the zstash documentation. Please contact Zeshawn Shaheen (Unlicensed) for help with zstash. The table below lists output location for the various simulations.

Known bad data
Some users have reported errors when trying to extract from HPSS archive. The cause of the bad data is currently unknown; possibilities include a bug in zstash or data file being corrupted to/on HPSS.
| Simulation | Tar archive | Content | Rescue status |

| abrupt-4xCO2 | 00002a.tar | abrupt4xCO2_index00002a.txt |

Retrieving data with zstash
Below are some basic examples on how to retrive DECK output data on NERSC. You can retrieve directly from NERSC Edison or Cori machines, but you may see better performance if you log in to one of the NERSC DTN nodes. The examples below assume that you have installed a conda environment with the latest version of zstash (see zstash quickstart guide).
Activate environment
source activate zstash
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
zstash extract --hpss=/home/g/golaz/2018/E3SM_simulations/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison "*.cam.h0.00[3-6]?-??.nc"
where /home/g/golaz/2018/E3SM_simulations/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:
archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0030-01.nc archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0030-02.nc archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0030-03.nc archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0030-04.nc [...] archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0069-09.nc archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0069-10.nc archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0069-11.nc archive/atm/hist/20180129.DECKv1b_piControl.ne30_oEC.edison.cam.h0.0069-12.nc
