Land Model Diagnostics Package
lnd_diag v4.1
Updated:
May, 2010
Background:
Lnd_diag4.1 was redesigned from earlier land diagnostic packages (v2 and v3). Lnd_diag v4 differs from previous versions in the fundamental way that it defines ON and OFF: lnd_diag2 and lnd_diag3 scripts use 0 to turn ON actions; lnd_diag4.* uses 0 to turn OFF actions. The lnd_diag v4 pre-processing logic facilitates analysis of long climatological runs which have prohibitively large space requirements. Version 4 now enables paleo-climate reconstructions for all analyses. Version 4 produces bit-for-bit consistency with v2 and v3 and the resulting analyses are identical. However, lnd_diag v4 run scripts are not backward compatible with earlier versions.

Software |
Description |
|
The NCAR Command Language (NCL), a product of the Computational & Information Systems Laboratory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, is a free interpreted language designed specifically for scientific data processing and visualization. |
|
|
|
The netCDF Operators, or NCO, are a suite of programs known as operators. Each operator is a standalone, command line program which is executed at the UNIX shell-level. The operators take netCDF files as input, then perform a set of operations (e.g., deriving new data, averaging, hyperslabbing, or metadata manipulation) and produce a netCDF file as output. The operators are primarily designed to aid manipulation and analysis of gridded scientific data. |
|
ImageMagick software is used to convert postscript output files to GIF formatted images. |
|
|
ncview
(optional) |
Ncview is a visual browser for netCDF format files. Ncview is not an analysis package; its purpose in life is to quickly and easily view simple plots of data stored in netCDF format. |
NOTE: If you wish to stop
(i.e., kill) an analysis run during the pre-processing phase where the summary
files are being created you will need to first put the process into the
background:

NCAR users should
not need to change DIAG_HOME unless you wish to point to a local version of the
land diagnostics package (e.g., to make code modifications). Note that even if DIAG_HOME points to your
personal sandbox, OBS_HOME can still point to the default OBS_HOME directory to
save file space (the OBS_HOME directory is large).

Do not change INPUT_HOME unless you wish to copy the
contents of this directory to a personal workspace to create
non-standard variable lists for sets 1, 2 5, or 8. Note
that changing the variables analyzed in sets 3, 4, 6, and 7 requires
considerable code revision.
To create non-standard variable lists for sets 1, 2, 5, and
8:
·
copy all variable lists from $INPUT_HOME/inputFiles
·
modify variable lists (original format is
required – Appendix A)
·
Change INPUT_HOME to point to new variable
lists.

Post-process MSS files into summary files. This
section activates the post-processing of CCSM history files into the summary
files required by the diagnostics package. The diagnostics package will
fail if these files do not exist. Note that there is a significant
efficiency penalty for recreating the summary files if they already
exist. See Appendix for description of summary file requirements.

Pre-screen for NaNs in CCSM
history files. Script examines all variables in ANN_ALL.nc
file for NaNs. User specifies whether script allows NaNs and continues processing, or exits fatally if NaNs are found. If BLOCK_NAN is set to 0 (thereby
allowing the diagnostic package to continue processing) all NaNs
are set to missing in every set. The goal of this step is to avoid
potential problems by bring NaNs to the users
immediate attention, therefore the default/recommended settings enable both
set_0 and BLOCK_NAN.

This option is useful for runs that fail after
pre-processing, during the set analysis. For example: Sets 1, 2,
and 3 completed, but set 4 fails for an arbitrary external reason (e.g., the
machine goes down unexpectedly or you run out of space on your working
directory). To restart the run at set 4 and avoid re-running sets 1-3,
set the ‘restart_set_flag’ to 1, and set ‘restart_set’ to 4. Leave sets 1-3 turned on (1) so
they are visible on the webpages where only active
sets are listed.

Recommendation: New users should run a short test run (e.g., 5 yrs) with these flags turned off to be sure the diagnostics packages will run with their history files. Then turn the rmMonFiles* flags on to remove history files and save file space for longer runs. If you plan to extend this run by adding years or branching from the original diagnostics (e.g., extending an initial analysis of years 1-40 to years 1-100), be sure that deleteProcDir is turned off.

Each set has a separate list of input files. The set
listing defines how the variables will be analyzed. For example, global
temperature is globally averaged, while annual GPP is represented as a global
total. In addition, sets may define the same variable differently
depending on the set. For example, set 1 treats NEE as an annual global
sum, and as a global daily average for set 2.
Set 2 uses an additional column in the input files to
indicate whether the variable should be contoured using dynamic or pre-set
contour intervals. Pre-set contour intervals are defined in variable_master4.2.ncl.
The addition of this feature allows the user to define the
contour intervals for selected variables without requiring that all variables
have either pre-set or dynamic contouring.
This feature is not available for set_8_contour.ncl, therefore
all contour levels for this set are dynamic.
