Hi Grenville,
I’ve managed to point the suite to those ancils. However I got errors about the mismatch between the model and ancil grid for the ozone, soil moisture and aerosol ancils similar to this ticket. I set l_ignore_ancil_grid_check=.true. as advised, which converts the errors to warnings:
??? WARNING ???
? Warning code: -1001
? Warning from routine: ANCIL_CHECK_MOD::REPORT_ANCIL_ERRORS
? Warning message:

? WARNINGS: 8 ancil files have failed ancil checking. These files did not cause an abort
? due to the setting of l_ignore_ancil_grid_check=.true. in the items namelist:

The recon completes, but as you suggested in that ticket, it produces very strange output for the ancil fields in which the grid is ignored - e.g. compare the ec_cb000 ozone field:
… to the input climatology ancil:
It may also be worth noting that the recon regrids the input data (on 70 levels) to 71 levels.
Relatedly, the forecast step also fails with:
? Error from routine: INBOUNDA
? Error message: CHK_LOOK_BOUNDA : Wrong number of LBC fields
How many fields is the forecast expecting in the LBCs? And do I need to tell it somewhere to expect more/less? There are 10 presently.
Many thanks,
Ella
