bug in icb_combrest.py

Description

The python script to complete the rebuilding of iceberg restarts (after rebuild_nemo has rebuilt the 2D fields) doesn't work if there are icebergs on the zeroth processor. In this case rebuild_nemo adds the zeroth-processor icebergs to the partially-rebuilt file and icb_combrest.py fails because it can't overwrite the icebergs dimension "n".

There is no way to delete variables or dimensions in netcdf files using the netcdf APIs so the solution is to copy the 2D variables from the partially rebuilt file to a new file and then write the iceberg information to that file.

I have modified the routine (modified routine attached to this ticket). This gives the same answer as the original routine for a nonproblematic restart (with no icebergs on the zeroth processor) and also works for a problematic restart (with icebergs on the zeroth processor). Will commit to the trunk and 3.6_stable branch after review.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

I have updated icb_combrest.py in the trunk at revision 6423 after review by Andrew Coward. Also added to nemo_v3_6_STABLE branch.

I have also add nonzero sys.exit codes to icb_combrest.py and icb_pp.py for error trapping, which is useful when they are called from other routines.

Last bug fix introduced a new bug whereby the "k" dimension and "kount" variable were not included in the rebuilt file.
