Description

Potential suggestions

Users can control the output interval with outIntervalHR key for the extended forecast capability. For example, see https://github.com/NCAR/MPAS-Workflow/blob/develop/scenarios/3dhybrid_O30kmIE60km_SpecifiedEnsemble_VarBC_allConfig.yaml#L414 .

I was trying to write out the forecast output with 30 minutes interval, so set outIntervalHR: 0.5. However, this has failed with some error.

It might be useful if we can make this key work with sub-hour interval.

This will require some modification on the scripts that populates the MPAS configuration files.

Research direction

Start with scenarios/3dhybrid_O30kmIE60km_SpecifiedEnsemble_VarBC_allConfig.yaml at the referenced outIntervalHR setting, then trace the scripts that populate MPAS configuration files. Reproduce the failure with outIntervalHR: 0.5 and identify the affected configuration path. Done means a 30-minute output interval is accepted and the relevant workflow completes without that error.
