P8c ICs

[junwang-noaa]

Description

This issue is to track the P8c ICs that will be used by the ufs-weather-model RT. It includes:

1. Ocean mask data
2. Oro data
3. Fixed files
4. ATM ICs created from the oro data/Fixed files with resolution: C48, C96. C192, C384, C768 and C1152

• The ATM ICs include aerosol ICs created from MERRA2 Reanalysis data

6. WW3 tripolar grid
7. WW3 ICs
8. Aerosol ICs

@DeniseWorthen @shansun6 @bingfu-NOAA @HelinWei-NOAA @aliabdolali If you have the data ready, would you please list the location in the issue? Thanks.

@yangfanglin @AvichalMehra-NOAA @arunchawla-NOAA FYI.

[junwang-noaa]

Here is the location of oro data from @shansun6:

/scratch1/BMC/gsd-fv3-dev/fv3data/lake_p8_modis/

[HelinWei-NOAA]

The new surface fixed fields using Shan's new oro data:
/scratch1/NCEPDEV/global/Helin.Wei/sfc_fixed_mar2022

[DeniseWorthen]

I've used the following staged input directory to test the j=1 feature:

INPUTDATA_ROOT="/scratch1/NCEPDEV/stmp4/Denise.Worthen/input-data-20211130

The following files from that directory will need to be used in the new input-data directory:

1. MOM6_FIX/100: ufs.topo_edits_011818.nc
2. CICE_FIX/100: mesh.mx100.nc, grid_cice_NEMS_mx100.nc, kmtu_cice_NEMS_mx100.nc
3. CICE_IC/100: cice_model_1.00.cpc.res_2011100100.nc, cice_model_1.00.cpc.res_20210322.nc

@DeniseWorthen @shansun6 @bingfu-NOAA @HelinWei-NOAA @aliabdolali If you have the data ready, would you please list the location in the issue? Thanks.

@yangfanglin @AvichalMehra-NOAA @arunchawla-NOAA FYI.

@junwang-noaa Can you confirm the case for regression test is still 20210322 06Z ?

[junwang-noaa]

@bingfu-NOAA The non-benchmark regression tests are using 20210222 06Z, cpld_bmark_p8 is using 2013040100. The RT weekly test cpld_bmark_p8_35d runs with the 8 ICs including the 4 seasons in 2012 and 2013.

[bingfu-NOAA]

@junwang-noaa The oro data are being updated with a fix, I will create the ICs after the updated oro data and sfc fix files are available.

[bbakernoaa]

@junwang-noaa This list should also include the aerosol initial conditions which are created using the MERRA2 Reanalysis data

[junwang-noaa]

@bbakernoaa Good point, I added an item under 4) as I think the ATM ICs contains the aerosol fields, please let me know if you'd like to change it. Thanks

[bingfu-NOAA]

@bbakernoaa @junwang-noaa Anyone can help me on how to create atm IC with aerosol initial conditions?

[bingfu-NOAA]

@junwang-noaa Just FYI the oro data I used is from Shan with the fix of alignment issue.
oro data location on Hera: /scratch1/BMC/gsd-fv3-dev/fv3data/lake_p8_water_fraction2020/
Helin's sfc fix files are located here on Hera: /scratch1/NCEPDEV/global/Helin.Wei/sfc_fixed_mar2022

[bbakernoaa]

@junwang-noaa

I've made a copy of the ICs as I didn't want to overwrite the original ones created by @bingfu-NOAA. They can be found here on HERA

/scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Barry.Baker/C384_025/MERRA2_UFS_ICS/20*

[junwang-noaa]

@bbakernoaa Thanks.
@bingfu-NOAA May I ask if you have the RT 2021032206 ICs with different resolutions ready? Thanks

[bingfu-NOAA]

@junwang-noaa @bbakernoaa Yes, it is ready.
on Hera: /scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Bing.Fu/o/p8crts/com/gens/dev/merge

[junwang-noaa]

@bingfu-NOAA Thank you!
@bbakernoaa Would you please let me know if you can add aerosol fields to the ICs under /scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Bing.Fu/o/p8crts/com/gens/dev/merge? Thanks

[bbakernoaa]

@junwang-noaa I can yes. It shouldn't be a problem.

[junwang-noaa]

@bbakernoaa May I ask if you have the RT aerosol ICs ready? Thank you!

[bbakernoaa]

@junwang-noaa you should be able to get them here: /scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Barry.Baker/C384_025/MERRA2_UFS_ICS/C*

The C1152 is finishing up now but should be done within the hour.

[ChunxiZhang-NOAA]

@shansun6 @bingfu-NOAA @HelinWei-NOAA. Are the ocean (water?) mask data consistent with the other fixed data? For example, if the grid is water in soil data, is it also water in the mask data?

[yangfanglin]

@ChunxiZhang-NOAA Please see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dPirkrZfvqlVi4GgdVRYVvdjd8BeVPlRg6irI9hH_c0/edit for the procedures for making UFS global model boundary conditions and ICs. Hope it helps. @shansun6 @bingfu-NOAA @HelinWei-NOAA @barlage Please update this document if the information is out of date

[yangfanglin]

@bbakernoaa Barry, it would be great if you can add the steps to this document taken to create add aerosol ICs.

[bbakernoaa]

Will do @yangfanglin

[ChunxiZhang-NOAA]

@ChunxiZhang-NOAA Please see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dPirkrZfvqlVi4GgdVRYVvdjd8BeVPlRg6irI9hH_c0/edit for the procedures for making UFS global model boundary conditions and ICs.

@yangfanglin Thank you.

[junwang-noaa]

We will stage 1-4 and 8 in ufs-weather-model RT input data location for PR#909. When ww3 data is ready, it will be staged for upcoming ww3 cap PR.

[DeniseWorthen]

To summarize, the following locations will be used to update the input-data used for the RTS.

• Close j=1 on MOM6 1deg: /scratch1/NCEPDEV/stmp4/Denise.Worthen/input-data-20211130
  MOM6_FIX/100: ufs.topo_edits_011818.nc
  CICE_FIX/100: mesh.mx100.nc, grid_cice_NEMS_mx100.nc, kmtu_cice_NEMS_mx100.nc
  CICE_IC/100: cice_model_1.00.cpc.res_2011100100.nc, cice_model_1.00.cpc.res_20210322.nc

• Fix files: /scratch1/NCEPDEV/global/Helin.Wei/sfc_fixed_mar2022 @HelinWei-NOAA

• Oro data: /scratch1/BMC/gsd-fv3-dev/fv3data/lake_p8_water_fraction2020 @shansun6

• ICs for RTs with aerosols added: /scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Barry.Baker/C384_025/MERRA2_UFS_ICS/C* @bbakernoaa

• ICs for 8 test dates : /scratch2/NCEPDEV/climate/climpara/S2S/IC/GEFS-NoahMP-aerosols-p8c for 2012/2013 -01,04,07,10). These will be added to the current BM_IC input data in subdirectories gfs_p8c @JessicaMeixner-NOAA

If I've tagged you, please confirm by adding a check mark.

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

For the prototype IC dates, we have ICs with aerosols and land-spin-up on hera here: /scratch2/NCEPDEV/climate/climpara/S2S/IC/GEFS-NoahMP-aerosols-p8c

[DeniseWorthen]

@JessicaMeixner-NOAA These will need to be updated in a new gfs_p8c/ directory under each IC date in the current BM_IC-20220207 directories, correct?

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

@DeniseWorthen correct. Just wanted to make sure you saw those ICs with the land-spin up as the ones from @bbakernoaa for the same dates do not include the updated src files (the gfs files are the same ones from Barry)

[DeniseWorthen]

@JessicaMeixner-NOAA Could you say that again? I'm not sure I understand.

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

For the BM-ICs which go in the BM_IC-20220207 directories. The files should be taken from:
/scratch2/NCEPDEV/climate/climpara/S2S/IC/GEFS-NoahMP-aerosols-p8c
which combine the gfs* files that come from /scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Barry.Baker/C384_025/MERRA2_UFS_ICS/20* directories with sfc* files from the land-spin-up.

[DeniseWorthen]

Yes, from the time line above I understood that Barry copied the ICs from Bing and added Aerosols, so we should use those from Barry's directory.

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

And then we need the sfc files from @barlage which is done in /scratch2/NCEPDEV/climate/climpara/S2S/IC/GEFS-NoahMP-aerosols-p8c but for the RT-IC dates we don't have the extra spin-up. Just in the BM_ICs.

[bbakernoaa]

@DeniseWorthen I can't check that box for whatever reason but yes I approve (CHECK)

[HelinWei-NOAA]

@DeniseWorthen I can't check the box either. Yes. They are right one.

[DeniseWorthen]

Thanks for the confirmations. Those who could not check the boxes should have an invitation to join the ufs-weather-model as a collaborator.
