still on MOZBC

[Akinyoola Julius]

Dear all,

Thank you so much for your prompt response last time, the information was helpful.

I have downloaded  mozbc datasets in the following format

camchem-20220324081828859650.nc

and I have 12 of such files for each stand for a month and it is from January to December 2011

Now, in the tutorial I was using , I need to do the following link

ln -s mozart4geos5-ZZZZ.nc ha0004.nc            #copy as link to "rename'

https://wiki.harvard.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=228526205

so that I can use ha0004.nc in the name list as

fn_moz  = 'ha0004.nc'

Do I need to run one month at a time and run 12 times or what can I do to run at once

with this command  ./mozbc < mozbc.inp > mozbc.out

with kind regards

if your filenames are e.g. h0001.nc, h0002.nc, h0003.nc etc. in chronological order, then mozbc will automatically increment the filename.

Dear Dr.. Pfister,

Greetings and thank  youfor the all help so far.

I tried to followed your instruction  with the following variable in the mozbc namelist

fn_moz  = 'h0000.nc, h0001.nc, h0002.nc, h0003.nc, h0004.nc, h0005.nc, h0006.nc, h0007.nc, h0008.mc, h0009.nc, h0010.nc, h0011.nc, h0012.nc, $

could not open the file was the error flag

I also tried to run for fn_moz  = 'h0001.nc'

th eerror flag as follows

next_flnm; trying to increment file h0002.nc
 next_flnm; il, iu =            2           5
 next_flnm; file_number =            2
 next_flnm; new file = h0001.nc
 init_mozart_lib: opened /home/jakinyoola/lustre/WRFCHEMSETUP/mozbc/h0001.nc
 init_mozart_lib: time     20101001             0
                  is before
                      20101101             0
                  the first time in mozart file h0001.nc

This shows that after h0001.nc it is looking for h0002.nc

do I need to do something differently in arranging the files in chronological order as above

with kind regards

Julius

Hi Julius

please try the following: 

• Do not start the file numbering with h0000.nc but use h0001.nc for the naming of the first file. 
• in the mozbc namelist, only set: n_moz  = 'h0001.nc'  
  mozbc will automatically look for h0002.nc and so on if it cannot find the needed date in h0001.nc
• make sure your input files include the full time period that is set in your wrfbdy_{domain}
  To check on this use: ncdump -v date,datesec {filename}

Hope this helps

Hi Julius,

If the above mentioned tips still did not work, combining all the files with a simple nco command may do the trick:

ncrcat  file1.nc file2.nc ... output.nc 

 

You can then use output.nc 

Best,
