Creates new script that interpolates MPAS-Ocean thermal forcing and sub ice shelf melt rates to a MALI mesh for one way coupling. Still a work in progress at this point
Implements the thermal forcing calculation, as well as reorganizes script to object oriented. Further work is labeled with "<< TO DO >>:"
Finishes to-do list of interpolation script. Script capabilities are now all complete, but script still needs to be tested and likely debugged
Two changes to get xtime written correctly: * when the char array is generated, pad it to 64 characters * fix a bug in that the return code to encoding.update was being assigned to xtime
Previous code was giving an error when landIceFreshwaterFlux exists.
minLevelCell does not exist in older meshes, which assumed it was 1.
…al attr The global attribute version could sometimes have the value 'file'.
… files There will likely be other files in output directories, so ensure we are only working with the relevant ones.
* introduce start and end year options * add time loop to main function * create get_data function to retrieve needed data for each year * adjust remap_mpas_to_mali to handle a year argument A few comments: * I’ve commented out writing of the mesh fields to keep file size down. This is unrelated to the handling of years and perhaps should be a command line option * I had to adjust handling of various details of xarray data types to get this to work * creation of the mapping file should be moved out of the time loop so it only occurs once!
This only needs to happen once. This commit also changes some variable names to be more precise.
This commit creates 2 masks about the extent of ocean data and moves them to before interpolation so that MALI has access to the interpolated mask values, rather than trying to construct them after the fact. The masks get interpolated in a separate file from the TF/melt data. It is not yet clear if there will be a single mask definition that is appropriate for all applications, so this approach forces the MALI user to make a conscious decision about how to define the mask. The two masks are: * the entire ocean domain * the open ocean
We want to do ver. before horiz interp to avoid any horiz/vert "mixing" due to potential mpas-ocean hybrid coordinate. Also, this should speed up ncremap because the number of ismip6 vert levels is less than most ocean meshes. After this change, “scalloping” in the open ocean is gone. As this required substantial refactoring, there are a lot of related changes to file handling and xarray objects.

Previous results had the vertical coordinate upside down. These changes correct that and are more careful about indexing conventions.
They had been reversed. Co-authored-by: Alexander Hager <[email protected]>
This allows locations inside the ice shelf or below the bathymetry to be identified on the MALI mesh.
