#W04 Parallel Tools to Generate, Regrid, and Split Climate Data

Abstract

ACME component models simulate climate on a variety of grids, with older and newer formats from CESM and MPAS, respectively. These data must be compared and evaluated against other models (e.g., CMIP) and observations. We have extended the netCDF Operator (NCO) toolkit over the past year to generate, regrid, and split model and observational datasets at the scale of ACME v1 production runs. New features address researchers' requests including renormalization of sub-gridscale fields after regridding (for MPAS), conservation of sub-grid intensive properties during regridding (for ALM/ILAMB), automated timeseries extraction into CMIP5/6 format timeseries (for CAM-SE), yearly and high-frequency climatologies (for Coupled group), and improved compliance with Climate-Forecast (CF) conventions. The Automated Workbench and Coupled Diagnostics leverage some of these features, while others can be accessed through customized options. This poster or presentation highlights these new capabilities, and provides an opportunity for researchers to offer feedback for future features.
