Interannual hindcast run with JRA55 not finding forcing files for year 2019 and beyond

Hi all,

I’ve running the 1deg_jra55_iaf_bgc configuration with the ACCESS-OM2. This run has come straight out of the box from the access-om2-configs, with the exception that I have modified WOMBAT.

After successfully running this configuration from 1958-2018, the model suddenly crashes when trying to run calendar year 2019.

The error message is this:

Error - from NetCDF library
ncvar opening INPUT/rsds_input4MIPs_atmosphericState_OMIP_MRI-JRA55-do-1-4-0_gr_201901010130-201912312230.nc
No such file or directory

Pretty obvious what the problem is. Is there a reason why JRA55 forcing files were not created for calendar years 2019 - 2023?

Thanks

Hi Pearse

There is JRA55do forcing data available for 2019 to Jan 2024 but its a different version, so its not included by default. JRA55do version 1.4.0 was used for OMIP2 ( I think ). The versions which extend to 2024 are 1.5.0 and 1.5.0.1

The newer data is available from COSIMA here:
/g/data/ik11/inputs/JRA-55/JRA55-do-1-5-0-1

I think it’s ok to extend a 1.4.0 run with the newer data and I think you can just change the paths in config.yaml but ill defer to @aekiss to confirm.

Sorry - 2020 is here:

/g/data/qv56/replicas/input4MIPs/CMIP6/OMIP/MRI/MRI-JRA55-do-1-5-0

and 2021-2024 is

/g/data/ik11/inputs/JRA-55/JRA55-do-1-5-0-1

Thanks again Anton!

I raised Add JRA55do extension to Jan 2024 · Issue #146 · ACCESS-NRI/access-om2-configs · GitHub to hopefully formalise the 2019-2024 data extension in the released configurations
