UKESM0.4

Further additions for UKESM0.4

The main additions (there is more detail)

  • Proper ORCA1 ancillary files for fraction of surface type, leaf area index and canopy height (from Rich)
  • Settings for nitrogen limitation and crop/pasture forcings - but these additions are kept turned off (u-ag115, Rich has independently done this)
  • GC3.1 settings (u-ag246)

Two problems

  • ORCA025 -> ORCA1 caused many mean fields to be junk.
    • Needed to change settings in TCOUPMN (istr: 1->3, ifre: 1->3)
  • Problems with chemistry solver: lack of convergence & X4 run time
    • Improved by turning off interactive CO2 (Colin & I still looking into this)

Latest job is u-ag457.

  • Speed is ~1.4 model years/day on 23 nodes (20 atmos; 3 ocean)
  • Completed 5.5 years & still going
