'''''Retrieving ECMWF historcal grid data (example for ERA_40):'''''
 
  
 
1) Make sure your ECtrans setup settings on: https://ecaccess.ecmwf.int/ is valid.
 
 
2) When ssh'ing onto username@eceaccess.ecmwf.int  Choose: ecgate
 
% Choose c1a (not ecgate) upon login to access the supercomputer facility (HPCE)
 
 
 
3) The files you need to extract ERA_40can be found e.g. '''/home/ms/no/sb1d/flex_extract_ecgate_V4''', copy this directory.
 
 
 
4) The files that need editing is:
 
'''seq_control.V4''' -executes seq_extract.V4 for the dates you put in.
 
''./seq_extract.V4 1990 1990 06 06 20 31 1''
 
-                  start_year end_year start_month end_month start_day end_day 1=complete day(s)
 
 
 
 
'''flex_ecmwf_91_global_ecgate_ERA-40'''
 
- here paths, destination and username needs to be edited
 
 
 
 
 
List of files:
 
flex_ecmwf_91_finegrid_*
 
extract_ecmwf_ftpbase
 
seq_extract.V4*
 
seq_control.V4*
 
submit*
 
 
1. Edit the times in the file: seq_control.V4*
 
./seq_extract.V4 1990 1990 06 06 29 29 1
 
 
2. In file flex_ecmwf_91_finegrid_* modify the following parameters:
 
 
M_GRID 20 (resolution 0.2 deg, for resolution of e.g. 10 deg use 1000)
 
 
M_LEFT -3600 (36 W)
 
 
M_LOWER 4000 (40 N)
 
 
M_UPPER 7600 (76 N)
 
 
M_RIGHT 3600 (36 E)
 
 
M_FORMAT GRIB2 (GRIB1 or GRIB2)
 
 
DESTINATION nina (or another MS association set up on the web interface, e.g flexpart)
 
 
ECFSDIR ectmp:/${USER}/GRIM/ (directory name)
 
 
SOURCECODE /home/ms/no/sb9/flex_extract_ecgate_V4 (your username)
 
 
 
 
3. Change all paths to refer to your own user
 
grep sb9 *
 
to list all files containing the path with user sb9 which need to be changed.
 
 
4. Copy the template file flex_ecmwf_91_finegrid_* to extract_ecmwf_ftpbase
 
 
5. Run the job:
 
./submit
 
 
6. Check your job:
 
llq to see your job in the queue
 
eoj <jobid> provides details on the performance of a running job. (also automatically provided at end of job)
 
 
7. Get your files:
 
The retrieved files are automatically transferred to your ecgate account (via ECTRANS) and then to NILU by ftp. (NB: cannot ftp directly from HPCE, but must go via ecgate). If you can’t find your files in your defined NILU-directory, check the directory you specified in flex_ecmwf_91_finegrid_*  (ECFSDIR) for where it is temporarily stored on the ECWMF system. Then try ftp it over again using the ftp commands specified previously.
