SPS 6.1.1 uses the same physics version as GEM 5.1.1.
There are several restrictions:
outcfg.out
SPS does not have the possibility to write and continue from restart files. Therefore, at the end of each job all fields needed to start another simulation need to get outputted. The next job will then use the output of the previous job as initial conditions. To make the output of fields at the end of a job easier, steps=1 and steps=2 are now hard coded to:
steps=2 will automatically get set to the last timestep of the current job.
ISBA
The following is a list of mandatory initial condition fields for ISBA:
SD : VD=snow depth DN : VD=relative snow density I0 : VD=surface and soil temperatures I1 : VD=soil volumetric water contents I2 : VD=soil volumetric ice contents I3 : VD=water retained on the vegetation I4 : VD=water in the snow pack I7 : VD=sea ice temperature I8 : VD=sea ice thickness I9 : VD=glacier temperature
FLake
The following is a list of mandatory initial condition fields for FLake:
CLASS
When running CLASS, in addition to the ISBA fields above one also needs to output the following fields:
