Hey all, I’m trying to run the regional mom6 package after a break. Using this notebook based off the regional_mom6 demo. It’s failing on the bathymetry creation step with error message ValueError: chunks must have the same number of elements as dimensions. Expected 4 elements, got 2. I seem to ge…

From @rbeucher : I found out that the ucx and python-ucx packages were not installed in the conda/analysis3-25.03 and conda/analysis3-25.04. I have no idea how they got dropped. I have added them to conda/analysis3-25.05. UCX control communication between Gadi nodes so this might be the cause of s…

Okay, I’ve done some digging and around version 0.8.8 of xesmf, a bunch of version incompatibility pins with esmpy were added . I haven’t quite pinpointed what this conflicts with, but it seems to be the source of the error. I’ll update when I have more findings.

Hi Madi, I’ve just been working through some related xesmf issues & bisecting the environment changes. The conda/analysis3-25.02 & conda/analysis3-25.03 environments contains xesmf 0.8.8, only downgrading to 0.8.7 in analysis3-25.04: [ct1163@gadi-login-04 ~] $ module use /g/data/xp65/public/modul…

Hi Madi, I’ve just run this in the conda/analysis3-25.02 environment sucessfully & reproduced the error you were getting with conda/analysis3-25.04. The conda/analysis3-25.03 environment produces this segmentation fault: [gadi-cpu-bdw-0102:1663307:0:1663307] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault: …

Hi Charles, Thanks so much for looking into this. I didn’t notice that -25.03 produced a different error. Oops! Yes I have just successfully run the notebook using -25.02. No errors! Very happy using that for the moment. If you want me to test other versions at a later stage, I’m happy to. Thanks…

@helen @navidcy I’d like to help others avoid this issue. In a sense, the current instructions are OK since they point to the Cosima Cookbook which still recommends hh5 analysis3, which works. It might be good to note somewhere that xp65 analysis3-25.02 also works, though? And to avoid later version…

I have put a link to this thread on the instructions post. When this is fixed, we should update the Cosima Cookbook to point to the Xp65 analysis3!

I don’t know if this is related, but I am getting a long error message when I run expt.setup_ocean_state_boundaries( raw_boundaries_path=Path(tmp_dir), varnames=ocean_varnames, arakawa_grid="B" ) But I know this code used to work no problems and the files are in the correct place! “V…

I had installed a different version of regional MOM6 onto that environment which I had been using without problems for a few weeks. I am very sure I didn’t do it in a clean way which explains why it is now broken! I would like to carry on using this version, rather than the version on the xp65 envs…

I have just tried running this again in the conda/analysis3-25.05 environment and am getting the same error as before --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[28], line 2 1 # Set up the four boundary conditions…
