Need for new ocean initial conditions

These are ranked by priority :

1) ORAS4 ORCA1L75 configuration for 1958 to present

2) GLORYS2v1 ORCA1L75 configuration for 1993 to 2009

3) ORAS4 all configurations whole period

4) GLORYS2V3 all configurations whole period

How_to_generate_new_ocean_initial_conditions

ORAS4, ORCA1L42 and ORCA1L75

1. Update the ecaccess-certificate-create tool, which gives 7 days of access to ECMWF repositories.

2. clone the project https://earth.bsc.es/gitlab/ec-earthCPWG/Oce_IC.git

3. run export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$path_to_the_Oce_IC

4. go into the path_to_the_Oce_IC and run fetch_ORAS4.sh after filling the start dates you want to download from EMCWF and interpolate.

ORAP5, ORCA025L75

1. Update the ecaccess-certificate-create tool, which gives 7 days of access to ECMWF repositories.

2. git clone https://earth.bsc.es/gitlab/es/cpg_tools.git -b develop-eleftheria

2. Fetch the data locally (for example when in fat nodes)

cd cpg_tools/prep_restarts/generate_restarts_orap5_HR
sbatch dl_restarts.sh

3. Copy the data using the correct naming, in the repository of the initial conditions.

- Pay attention that for initial conditions for 1st May and 1st November we use the closest available dates in the original data, which are not always the same for each year.

- Also, we check the size in the original data, because some dates have half size, which means that they do not have all the variables we need for interpolation. For example, the restart of 19930430 is not suitable for using as initial condition:

After the manual checking, we run the following script:

cd cpg_tools/prep_restarts/generate_restarts_orap5_HR
sbatch copy_orap5.sh
ORAP5, ORCA1L46

We use a software called SOSIE http://sosie.sourceforge.net/ to interpolate the data. We do the following steps (on fat nodes):

cd cpg_tools/prep_restarts/generate_restarts_orap5_LR
sbatch launchscript.sh 
GLOSEA5, ORCA025L75

We need to extrapolate the files to the mask we use locally. We do the following separately per year (here as example for 19940501, in the fat nodes)

 cd cpg_tools/prep_restarts/generate_restarts_gs5_HR/19940501
 sbatch 19940501.sh 
GLOSEA5, ORCA1L46

Similarly, as in ORAP5 ORCA1L46, we need to interpolate by using a software called SOSIE http://sosie.sourceforge.net/ to interpolate the data. We do the following steps on the fat nodes:

 sbatch launchscript.sh
