Monthly climatology comparisons do not work #425

Closed bradyrx closed 6 years ago

bradyrx commented 6 years ago

Currently, MPAS-Analysis cannot take monthly arguments into seasons in a config file. This results in the ncclimo command passing the month (e.g. 'Jan') into the --seasons flag, which it of course does not recognize as a season.

ncclimo -4 --clm_md=mth -a sdd -m mpaso -p bck -v timeMonthly_avg_activeTracers_temperature --seasons=Jan -s 0001 -e 0010 -i /lustre/scratch3/turquoise/rileybrady /mpas_analysis_output/BGCtest/clim/mpas/source_symlinks -o /lustre/scratch3/turquoise/rileybrady/mpas_analysis_output/BGCtest/clim/mpas/unmasked_oEC60to30v3

ncclimo: ERROR Requested season Jan not defined

ncclimo should instead be computing climatologies for all months and then just skipping the seasonal climatology computation. (@xylar)

Hi @bradyrx. This is because mpas-analysis is based on monthly data already, i.e. it assumes that it is reading in already computed monthly averages.

@milenaveneziani, but one should be able to specify ['Jan', 'Jul'] as seasons a it should work. So I asked @bradyrx to submit this issue.
