7.6 Example 6. Generation of global gaussian surface dataset


Only global surface datasets can be created on a non-regular grid, such as a gaussian grid. To generate a surface dataset on a gaussian grid, the cpp tokens LSMLON and LSMLAT must be set to the desired resolution (e.g., LSMLON=128, LSMLAT=64 for a T42 grid, and MKSRF_OFFLINE_FGRID must be set to the appropriate dataset in $CSMDATA/rawdata specifying the model grid, land mask and land fraction for the model grid. At T42 resolution, a surface dataset, ``surface-data.128x064.nc'', will be created in the model executable directory. This dataset may be renamed by the user to be more self-explanatory.


The following namelist will result in the generation of a surface dataset on a global gaussian grid.

FSURDAT = ' '
A surface dataset named surface-data.128x064.nc will be created at run time in the model executable directory.


MKSRF_OFFLINE_FGRID = '$CSMDATA/rawdata/T42_clm2_camfgrid_040802.nc'
Points to the dataset containing the model grid, land mask and fractional land for the surface dataset.


MKSRF_FVEGTYP, MKSRF_FSOITEX, MKSRF_FSOICOL, MKSRF_FLANWAT, MKSRF_FGLACIER, MKSRF_FURBAN, and MKSRF_FLAI
Specifies the input datasets used to create the surface dataset.
