To convert old netcdf forcing files
From Surfex v7, the format for the netcdf forcing files changed.
To turn the 2 old forcing files FORCING.nc and PARAMS.nc to FORCING_NEW.nc:
- download
make_new_forc.sh and
TIME.py
and put these two files in the same directory as FORCING.nc and PARAMS.nc - do
./make_new_forc.sh year month day hour min sec forcing_time_step units [seconds/minutes/hours/days]
where year month day hour min sec refer to the initial date of the simulation, and units is for the time step of the forcing. - To use the new NETCDF forcing file FORCING_NEW.nc, copy it in your rundir directory and rename it FORCING.nc.
