@YEAR@ in 4 digits for ECHAM forcing files

[joakimkjellsson]

Good afternoon

Wonsun and I tried to run FOCI (ECHAM + NEMO) starting at year = 1 and we noticed that some of the forcing files are named e.g. Ndepo.0.nc and Ndepo.1.nc, i.e one for year 0 and one for year 1.
ECHAM expects these files to be with year in four digits, i.e. Ndepo.0000.nc and Ndepo.0001.nc
This also goes for aerosol files etc.

I think the year is set in esm_runscripts/filelist.py, but we could not figure out how this is done.

Does anyone have some advice on how to configure ESM-Tools for ECHAM runs with year < 1000 or y > 10000?
It seems that we must force esm_runscripts to produce files where "year" is written with 4 digits, since this is what ECHAM requires, but perhaps there is a workaround that someone has already done?

Many thanks
Joakim

Hi @joakimkjellsson,

that's a fast fix, I can do that. What branch are you on at the moment so I can use the right base?

Hi Paul

Thanks for offering to do this!
We are on the latest release of all the packages, and on "geomar" branch of ESM-Tools.
For esm_runscripts, this means

esm_runscripts
├─ version: 5.1.31
├─ path: /home/shkjocke/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
├─ branch:

Cheers

5.1.31. Alrighty. I won't get to it until Monday though, if I program over the weekend I get angry looks from my better half ;-)
