What's new?
Version 5.3.6 consists mainly of bugfixes:
There is a regridder fix that prevent it from failing to work
with some regional destination grids (global grids are not affected).
ncclimo fixes an issue computing global timeseries from ELM/CLM data
on unstructured grids, e.g., from "bigrid" ESM simulations.
Smaller fixes abound, including to the map-checker.
Regridder user should upgrade. Others may skip this release.
Enjoy,
Charlie
NEW FEATURES (full details always in ChangeLog):
A. The ncremap tutorial on the E3SM Confluence page
https://e3sm.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/edit-v2/754286611
contains still more documentation on how to exploit the three types
of parallelism (node-, workflow-, and thread-level) supported by
ncremap.
BUG FIXES:
A. The map checker (ncks --chk_map) and regridder robustness check
implemented in 5.3.5 contained a bug that affected regional
destination grids. The bug could cause these tools to report correct
mapfiles as invalid. This has been fixed. The solution is to upgrade
to 5.3.6 or downgrade to 5.3.4.
B. The regridder now accepts 'nco_idw' and 'ncoidw' as synonyms for
NCO's inverse-distance-weighted algorithm. 'nco_idw' was not
recognized on some earlier versions. Thanks to Zachary Moon for
reporting this.
C. ncclimo's 5.3.5 feature to automatically detect surface fields
did not recognized the 'lndgrid' dimension of ELM and CLM as
indicating a horizontal spatial dimension. This prevented ncclimo
from constructing automated spatial timeseries averages of datasets
on native unstructured grids. That is now fixed. The workaround is
to downgrade to version 5.3.3 and explicitly specify the desired
fields. The solution is to upgrade.
