  1. ece2evt : the EC-EARTH 3 to ESMValTool converter
  2. ================================================
  3. ece2evt is a simplified cmorisation tool that reads EC-EARTH output
  4. and creates netCDF files that in many aspects follow CMIP5 conventions
  5. yet not entirely. The output format, filename and variable names fit
  6. exactly the needs of the ESMValTool. The intention behind ece2evt is
  7. to have a fast interface between EC-EARTH 3 output and ESMValTool.
  8. Author: Klaus Wyser, SMHI
  9. Usage
  10. -----
  11. 1. copy conf-example.txt and create your own conf-<my_conf>.txt
  12. 2. Edit conf-<my_conf>.txt to fit your experiments
  13. 3. Run ./ece2evt-master.sh <expname> conf-<my_conf>.txt
  14. that then launches 2 batch jobs, one for processing IFS and one
  15. for processing NEMO
  16. <expname> is the 4-letter name of your experiment.
  17. Requirements
  18. ------------
  19. needs CDO and NCO
  20. Notes
  21. -----
  22. - ece2evt computes only monthly means for selected variables
  23. - ece2evt works with global NEMO files (default for EC-EARTH >= 3.2)
  24. for older experiments with NEMO output per processor you will first need
  25. to apply rebuild_nemo
  26. - one output file is created for each variable, don't process excessively
  27. long periods (10 years is fine, 100 years isn't)
  28. - ece2evt can make use of multiple processors by processing several months
  29. or variables simultaneously. Currently this feature is implemented for
  30. SLURM, for other batch job schedulers you will need to modify the code
  31. - best performance is obtained when a local disc on the computing node can
  32. be used for temporary storage (tmpdir_root in conf-example.txt)
  33. - only IFS or only NEMO ouutput can be rocessed by setting nprocs_ifs=0
  34. (or simila for nprocs_nemo) in the conf file
