Requested aerosol data file "INPUT/aerosol.dat" not found!

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I am running with the new 202204 version, and I now get this runtime error:

Note: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_UNDERFLOW_FLAG
     Requested aerosol data file "INPUT/aerosol.dat               " not found!
     *** Stopped in subroutine aero_init !!

Where can I get the "aerosol.dat" file, or instructions for creating it?

Hi @lharris4,

Thanks, I'm not sure how I lost the file, it looks like it was there before but wasn't needed/used by the previous pre-202204 release so I must have deleted it from my test case.

The link on this site to the fixed files in the docker callout window appears to be inactive/missing:
https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/shield/shield-in-a-box/

For reference for anyone else looking for the file aerosol.dat:

I found an aerosol.dat file in the regional_Laura.zip experiment case files provided for the Singularity case:
https://zenodo.org/record/5090124/files/regional_Laura.zip

And also in the global_nest_Laura experiment case down at the bottom of the page:
https://zenodo.org/record/5090124/files/global_nest_Laura.zip

I should also point out, it appears that the new release 202204 requires all of these static files to be in the INPUT/ directory, while in the previous release (and in these packaged zip files), they were stored in the main experiment directory.

It would be helpful to have a list of all files expected by the model in the INPUT directory in a readme. At the moment I am filling them in by trial and error.
