The ‘physics_input_table’ contains a list of all your physics input fields. This includes all the geophysical fields (GEOP), fields to be read from the initial condition file (ANAL), fields read from the climatological file specified in ‘GEM_climato‘ (CLIM) as well as fields to be read from the analyzed climatological file, ‘GEM_anclima’, like ‘TM’ and ‘LG’ (INREP).
There is one row per field to be read. Each row can contain several key specifying which field exactly should get red. These keys need to be separated from one another by a ';'. The following keys can be used:
in : variable name as found in file (mandatory)
in2 : for vector fields, name of second component as found in file
freq : frequency at which field will be read (default 0)
Accepted format: TYPE,first,interval,last
TYPE : STEP,MONTH,HOUR,MINUTE (optional, default=STEP)
first : start reading from "first", in units of TYPE (mandatory)
interval : read every interval (optional, default=0, inital). Put 1 for fields that should get read whenever they are found.
last : read up to "last", in units of TYPE (optional, default=-1 infinite)
search : shortcut of file from which to read the field. A list of files can be given, separated by commas. File names are specified in 'configexp.cfg'.
'ANAL' → field will get read from analysis file specified in 'GEM_anal'
'GEOP' → field will get read from geophy file specified in 'GEM_geophy'
'CLIM' → field will get read from climatology file specified in 'GEM_climato'
'INREP' → field will get read from 'GEM_anclima' (SST & sea ice) or 'CLIMAT_nest_rept'/'CLIMAT_nest_exp' (lateral BCs). Files from both parameters get copied into a directory called 'INREP' by the model scripts.
Interp : horizontal interpolation type. Options: linear, near, cubic
levels : which levels should get read
timeint: linear, step, any, near
Examples:
in=VF; freq=0; search=GEOP; interp=near; levels= 1,26; in=SD; freq=0; search=ANAL; interp=near; levels= 1,7; in=TM; freq=0,1; search=ANAL,INREP; interp=linear; timeint=near in=LG; freq=0,1; search=ANAL,INREP; interp=near; timeint=near
