Description
### Discussed in https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM/discussions/1833
Originally posted by **adrifoster** August 26, 2022
We get this question a lot:
I am trying to set up a case for a specific latitude and longitude. I want to use GSWP3 climate data, how do I set this up?
My issue
This discussion has been very helpful and I am able to create a single-point run using the instructions on Derecho. However, I am interested in creating a regional run and cannot produce the regional datm files.
Using the commands on Derecho:
conda activate ctsm_pylib
./subset_data region --lat1 $my_lat1 --lat2 $my_lat2 --lon1 $my_lon1 --lon2 $my_lon2 --create-surface --create-datm --create-user-mods --create-domain --create-mesh --outdir $my_output_dir
I expect this last command to create the surface data file, CLM domain file, mesh file, and datm files (for default GSWP3 years 1901 to 2014) for my region of interest using default_data_2000.cfg. After I run that line, there is no error produced and I get all files except for the datm files ($my_output_dir/datmdata is empty). Could this be an error in my use of ./subset_data region?
