Ensure we can generate panan-like forcing #3

Open angus-g opened 2 years ago

angus-g commented 2 years ago

The input generation scripts were lifted out of the EAC configuration, which is an isolated domain with four non-periodic boundaries. Among the more general requirements, we should be able to recreate the panan forcing, which is just a single (northern) boundary, but with zonal periodicity.

This was tested by Adele, but I think the Northern boundary for PanAn was far too big to be handled by a notebook. So our tools might work (needs to be tested) but the computational requirement for processing and remapping so much data might require a separate PBS job. Once users are happy using the demo notebooks though they would hopefully be confident to write their own scalable python script using the package

Update: The package can now handle the regridding of larger datasets thanks to update to xESMF. I don't thing that the regridding part of our package will be an issue, but we'll somehow need to tell MOM6 that longitude wraps around the whole globe. Perhaps this can be done with a MOM_override file? Or is this done via the metadata of the netcdf files themselves?

@adele-morrison , assiming you have all your netcdf files correctly regridded, do you know how to "turn on" panan forcing?

Should we revisit this?

ashjbarnes commented 8 months ago

Yeah this could be another example notebook? Demonstrate setting things up with a single northern boundary, and you'd also need to add reentrant_x=True or something in the MOM_override/input
