Boundary files for LIM3 are not found in a subdirectory

[andrea.gierisch]

I want to provide BDY sea ice data for LIM3 at the boundaries of a regional domain. If I put these files into a subdirectory, the file for siconcat is not found by NEMO.

I use ​http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/svn/branches/2015/nemo_v3_6_STABLE/NEMOGCM/NEMO revision 7214
key_bdy key_lim3

Fix

The problem arises when NEMO checks whether the ice input is from LIM2 or LIM3. For me it helps to include the directory name cn_dir in front of the filename in NEMOGCM/NEMO/OPA_SRC/BDY/bdydta.F90 in lines 674, 676, and 679:

671            IF( nn_ice_lim_dta(ib_bdy) .eq. 1 ) THEN
672               ! Test for types of ice input (lim2 or lim3)
673               ! Build file name to find dimensions 
674               clname= TRIM( cn_dir )//TRIM(bn_a_i%clname)
675               IF( .NOT. bn_a_i%ln_clim ) THEN   
676                                                  WRITE(clname, '(a,"_y",i4.4)' )  TRIM( cn_dir )//TRIM( bn_a_i%clname ), nyear    ! add year
677                  IF( bn_a_i%cltype /= 'yearly' ) WRITE(clname, '(a,"m" ,i2.2)' ) TRIM( clname        ), nmonth   ! add month
678               ELSE
679                  IF( bn_a_i%cltype /= 'yearly' ) WRITE(clname, '(a,"_m",i2.2)' ) TRIM( cn_dir )// TRIM( bn_a_i%clname ), nmonth   ! add month
670               ENDIF

When you insert a piece of fortran code in Trac, it's smarter to use the specific processor {{{#!f ... }}} to highlight the syntax.

The general rule for running simulations is to put all the forcing files and the executables (nemo, xios) in the same directory.
