These fields will be output to the GEOS-Chem restart file and then initialized to the values saved in the restart file at the start of the next simulation. Prior to this update, both H2O2s and SO2s were initialized to the H2O2 and SO2 tracer concentrations at the start of every simulation. '''''This change will impact multi-segmented runs only'''''.

| − | === Restart collection in History.rc ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | GEOS-Chem restart files are now saved out via the History component. A new [[List_of_diagnostics_archived_to_netCDF_format#The_Restart_collection|Restart collection]] has been defined in <tt>HISTORY.rc</tt> and fields saved out to the restart file can be modified in that file. | + | |

| − | As a result of this update, GEOS-Chem restart file names now are now named: <tt>GEOSChem.Restart.YYYYMMDD_hhmmz.nc4</tt>. For example, the restart file that was created at 00:00 UTC on August 1, 2016 is named: <tt>GEOSChem.Restart.20160801_0000z.nc4</tt>. The <tt>z</tt> indicates "Zulu" or "Z" time, which is another name for UTC.

| − | GEOS-Chem restart files are now read in via HEMCO. The entries listed below have been added to <tt>HEMCO_Config.rc</tt> (and may vary slightly for different simulation types). These fields are obtained from HEMCO and copied to the appropriate <tt>State_Chm</tt> and <tt>State_Met</tt> fields in the new routine <tt>Get_GC_Restart</tt> (found in <tt>GeosCore/hcoi_gc_main_mod.F90</tt>).

| − | == Viewing and manipulating restart files in netCDF format ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are many free and open-source software packages readily available for visualizing and manipulating netCDF files. These tools will reduce the need for the GEOS-Chem user community to rely on IDL (and GAMAP), which can be prohibitively expensive for some user groups. Some recommend tools are listed below.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :1. '''[http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/old_docs/docs_4_1/netcdf/ncdump.html ncdump]''': This command-line tool generates a text representation of netCDF data and can be used to quickly view the variables contained in a netCDF file. For example:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Display header information (dimensions, variables, attributes) only
| + | |
| − | ncdump -h GEOSChem_restart.201308010000 | less
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | # Display header information followed by data values for variable(s) specified
| + | |
| − | ncdump -v SPC_NO GEOSChem_restart.201308010000 | less
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :2. '''[http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html ncview]''': Visualization package for netCDF files, recommended for a quick and easy look at netCDF files.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :3. '''[https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/ Panoply]:''' Data viewer for netCDF files. This package offers an alternative to ncview. From our experience, Panoply works nicely when installed on the desktop, but is slow to respond in the Linux environment.

| − | :4. '''[http://nco.sourceforge.net/ NCO]''' and '''[https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo CDO]''': Command-line tools for manipulating and analyzing netCDF files.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | :5. Other programming languages may be used for viewing or manipulating netCDF files, including but not limited to:
| + | |

| + | |
| − | :*[http://www.python.org/ Python]
| + | |
| − | :*[https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html Matlab]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some of the tools listed above, such as ncdump and ncview, may come pre-installed on your system. Others like NCO, CDO, and Panoply may need to be installed or loaded (e.g. via the <tt>module load</tt> command). Check with your system administrator or IT staff to see what is available on your system.

| − | === Regridding netCDF restart files ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The same netCDF tools listed above can also be used to regrid netCDF restart files produced by GEOS-Chem.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :1. '''[https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo CDO]''': The Climate Data Operators include tools for regridding netCDF files. For example, the following command will apply distance-weighted regridding:
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | cdo remapdis,gridfile infile.nc outfile.nc
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :For <tt>gridfile</tt>, you can use the files in ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/grids/. See the [https://www.rsmas.miami.edu/users/rajib/cdo.pdf#page=106&zoom=auto,70.8662,789.2717 Interpolation section in the CDO Guide] for more information.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>'''''Bram Maasakkers wrote:'''''
| + | |
| − | :I have noticed a problem regridding a 4x5 restart file to 2x2.5 using cdo 1.9.4. When I use:

| − | ::<code>cdo remapdis,geos.2x25.grid GEOSChem_restart.200901010000.nc GEOSChem_restart.2009_2x25.nc</code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :The last latitudinal band (-89.5) remains empty and gets filled with the standard missing value of cdo, which is really large. This leads to immediate problems in the methane simulation as enormous concentrations enter the domain from the South Pole. For now I’ve solved this problem by just using bicubic interpolation:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ::<code>cdo remapbic,geos.2x25.grid GEOSChem_restart.200901010000.nc GEOSChem_restart.2009_2x25_bicub.nc</code>
| + | |
| − | </blockquote>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :2. '''[http://nco.sourceforge.net/ NCO]''': The netCDF Operators also include tools for regridding. See the [http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Regridding Regridding section of the NCO User Guide] for more information.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :3. Jenny Fisher provided an IDL script <tt>regridh_restart_nc.pro</tt> which is now included with [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/doc/ GAMAP]. Jenny wrote:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :<blockquote>The one caveat that I cannot figure out is something weird with the units. I have done this in such a way that it reads in whatever attributes (including units) are in the original file and writes the same units back to the regridded file. But when GEOS-Chem reads the new file it gives an “incompatible units” error — although printing them in the code shows something identical to what the case statement is searching for, as far as I can tell. If I use ncatted to overwrite the units (with identical name) they are fine. So it must be something to do with the way IDL encodes the units string, but I have no idea what. The relevant nco command is <tt>ncatted -O -a units,,m,c,"mol mol-1" INFILENAME.nc</tt></blockquote>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :4. Regridding routines written in [http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/ NCL] are also available in the [[NCL_tools_for_GEOS-Chem|NCL4GC package]] available on Bitbucket.

| − | === Creating a netCDF restart file or adding new species to a netCDF restart file ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You have a few options for adding new species to a netCDF restart file:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :1. In [[GEOS-Chem v11-01]], if the model cannot find a species in the netCDF restart file, it should set the initial concentration to the background concentration. The default background concentration is 1e-20 v/v. If you want to change that to a different value, you can add <tt>BackgroundVV = {VALUE}_fp</tt> to the call to <tt>Spc_Create</tt> for that species in <tt>Headers/species_database_mod.F90</tt>. To confirm your species is getting set to the background value you can turn on ND70 debug output, which will print the initial species concentrations (min/max) read from the restart file to the log file. At the end of your simulation, a new restart file will be saved out with the new species included. We recommend spinning up GEOS-Chem for an appropriate duration to achieve reasonable concentrations for the new species.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :2. You can use CDO and NCO to copy the restart field for one species to a new species. For example:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | module load nco
| + | |
| − | module load cdo
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | # Extract field SPC_PMN from the original restart file
| + | |
| − | cdo selvar,SPC_PMN initial_GEOSChem_rst.4x5_standard.nc GEOSChem_restart.PMN.nc
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | # Rename selected field to SPC_NPMN
| + | |
| − | ncrename -h -v SPC_PMN,SPC_NPMN GEOSChem_restart.PMN.nc GEOSChem_restart.NPMN.nc
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | # Append new species to existing restart file
| + | |
| − | ncks -h -A -M GEOSChem_restart.NPMN.nc initial_GEOSChem_rst.4x5_standard.nc
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :3. Sal Farina wrote a simple Python script for adding a new species to the netCDF restart file:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #!/usr/bin/env python
| + | |
| − | import netCDF4 as nc
| + | |
| − | import sys
| + | |

| − | print "SPC_OCPI not defined"
| + | |
| − |

| − | f.createVariable('SPC_SOAP',o.datatype,dimensions=o.dimensions,fill_value=o._FillValue)
| + | |
| − | soap = f['SPC_SOAP']

| − | soap[:] = 0.0
| + | |
| − | soap.long_name= 'SOAP tracer'
| + | |
| − | soap.units = o.units

| − | | + | |
| − | Cropping netCDF files can be easily achieved with tools such as [https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo CDO] or [http://nco.sourceforge.net/ NCO]. For example, CDO has a SELBOX operator for selecting a box by specifying the lat/lon bounds:

| − | <blockquote>Daniel Rothenberg has been in touch regarding how vertical co-ordinates are set up in CESM. It's mostly the same (as COARDS), with the exception that EVERY file which includes a vertical co-ordinate also includes both <tt>lev</tt> and <tt>ilev</tt> dimensions. In this case, <tt>lev</tt> is the cell mid-points, and <tt>ilev</tt> is cell edges ("i"nterfaces). Both <tt>lev</tt> and ilev are set up just as we discussed before, although CESM doesn't include the <tt>formula_terms</tt> attribute, which I think we should use. In this case <tt>formula_terms</tt> would be <tt>ap: hyai b: hybi p0: P0 ps: ps</tt> for the <tt>ilev</tt> dimension and <tt>ap: hyam b: hybm p0: P0 ps: ps</tt> for the <tt>lev</tt> dimension.

| − | #Both <tt>ilev</tt> and <tt>lev</tt> should be in all 3D files, even though only one of the two dimensions is used in a given file).
| + | |
| − | #I think we can leave <tt>PS</tt> out of the files. It will make them non-compliant but I think it's one of those "accepted" non-compliances. If it turns out to be a problem we can revisit it later, but for plotting the expectation is that it's up to the user to figure out where they're getting <tt>PS</tt> from, rather than automatically archiving it in every file.

| − | Starting in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01]], all restart files are now saved in [[Preparing_data_files_for_use_with_HEMCO#The_COARDS_netCDF_standard|COARDS-compliant netCDF format]]. We have had to make some minor modifications to both GEOS-Chem and GAMAP in order to allow GAMAP to read these files. The table below gives a summary of these modifications.

| − | |In routine <tt>INIT_TRACERINFO</tt>, we now write metadata for all species (advected or not) to the tracerinfo.dat file under the ND45 tracer concentration diagnostic section. Because the netCDF restart file contains concentrations for both advected and non-advected species, we need to make sure that the <tt>tracerinfo.dat</tt> file created by GEOS-Chem contains metadata for all species.
