Reconfiguration in HadGEM2

Unified Model
1

Dear NCAS

I am using HadGEM2-ES on the local University of Birmingham machine. I have hit a problem when I try to reconfigure the orographic height. It works fine except when I attempt to change the height values which gives the following error:

ERROR!!! in reconfiguration in routine Rcf_vertical
Error Code:- 10
Error Message:- No interpolation, but data field sizes/levels are different!
Error generated from processor

I realise you don’t support this model any longer but could recommend someone who might know more about the reconfiguration code and/or whether this error has come up before?

Best wishes,
Peter

What do you mean attempt to change the height values - have you created a new ancillary file that you are trying to use in the reconfiguration?

Hi Grenville,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I have a new orography ancil file produced in xancil that is based on the original but with a small difference applied (just for now as test) and it produces the error I mentioned. If I use the original orography ancil (qrparm.orog_new) it runs the reconfiguration without a problem.

Best wishes,
Peter

We’ll need to see both orography files to say anything sensible. Can you put them on JASMIN or ARCHER2?

Hi Grenville,

The original and altered orography ancils are on my home drive on archer:

Original:

/home/n02/n02/hopcrofp/qrparm.orog_new

Altered:

/home/n02/n02/hopcrofp/qrparm.orog_test

Thanks,
Peter

Hi,

We cannot see these files. Could you

chmod -R g+rX /home/n02/n02/<your-username>
chmod -R g+rX /work/n02/n02/<your-username>

So we can access them now and any other files in the future.

Simon.
