Need for new sea ice initial conditions

These are ranked by priority :

1) ORAP5 ORCA1 and ORCA025 configuration

2) ORCA025 in-home reconstruction / reanalyses covering 1958 to present

How to generate new sea ice initial conditions?

i00v and i057

1. Fetch ERA-interim atmospheric forcing data

Go to the cfutools GIT repository (https://earth.bsc.es/gitlab/es/cpg_tools) in the prep_nem_forcings/eraint/orca1 directory

Follow the instructions from the README. All the scripts to fetch ERA-interim files are in that same directory

2. Prepare wind perturbations and generate members fc1-fc4 for the forcings from member fc0

Still in the prep_nem_forcings/eraint/orca1 directory from the cfutools GIT repository.

Instructions in the README and all scripts in that same directory

3. The atmospheric forcing files need to be stored there:

/esarchive/releases/fg/ocean/eraint

4. Fetch ORAS4 monthly temperature and salinity for the ocean nudging at ECMWF ecgate. Run in the $SCRATCH/scratchdir :

#!/bin/ksh
EXPID=s4 # Tag of ORAS4 on the ECFS repository 
DATASOURCE="ec:/emos/OCEA/4/0001/" # Root of the path where to find ORAS4 on ECFS
YEARI=2015 # First year to download
YEARF=2015 # Last year to download
MEMBER_LST="0 1 2 3 4" # List of members to download
MON_LST="01 02 03 04 05 06" # List of months to download in formate MM
YEAR=$YEARI
while [[ $YEAR -le $YEARF ]] ; do
for mem in $MEMBER_LST ; do
  for mon in $MON_LST ; do
    ecp ${DATASOURCE}/opa${mem}/output/${YEAR}/0001_1m_${YEAR}${mon}01_${YEAR}${mon}*_grid_T_02.nc.gz s4_fc${mem}_${YEAR}${mon}_grid_T.nc.gz
  done
done
YEAR=$((YEAR+1))
done

5. Download the ORAS4 monthly temperature and salinity locally:

cd /esarchive/releases/nudging/ocean/s4/ORCA1
ftp ecaccess.ecmwf.int
cd ECSCRATCH/scratchdir
prompt
mget *
for ((jmemb=0;jmemb<=4;jmemb++)) ; do mv *fc${jmemb}*gz* fc${jmemb} ; done

6. For i057 only, interpolate + extrapolate vertically and horizontally + fill in empty seas for the ORAS4 nudging files to be usable with EC-Earth3

Go to the cfutools GIT repository cd prep_restarts/example edit loop_outputs_oras4.sh change the following arguments:

year0=2015 # First year to process yearf=2015 # Last year to process fc0=0 # First member to process fcf=4 # Last member to process

Launch on stargate: sbatch loop_outputs_oras4.sh

7. Extend i00v and i057

For i00v, it is necessary to copy /home/vguemas/autosubmit_i00v and used this autosubmit version. It is also necessary to copy at ithaca /scratch/cfu/vguemas/i00v into your scratch. For i057, Autosubmit 2.4 or 2.5 can be used.

For both i00v and i057, the expdef needs to be modified to run only the extension of interest. If any permission issue arises, you can ask to any IT who has root access to fix these permission issues.

The chunk length is 6 months for both i00v and i057. A change in the chunk length would induce code change in the template relying on Omar's pluggin for ocean nudging.
