Hi all,

I’m trying to run ICON with benchmark input data, but error messages appeared: Error creating netCDF file.

Here is the log file of running ICON.

Please, I need your help.
Thank you.

In your run script, you should not set APPL to a directory structure, it is intended to be just a string used for labeling output files.

In your run script, the following is used:

set APPL = SE52BENCH/single_day/cctm_input

set OUTDIR = $CMAQ_DATA/icon #> output file directory

Since $CMAQ_DATA is /home/dasol/CMAQ_v5.2.1/data/, with these settings the output file is then set to /home/dasol/CMAQ_v5.2.1/data/icon/ICON_v52_SE52BENCH/single_day/cctm_input_profile, but directory /home/dasol/CMAQ_v5.2.1/data/icon/ICON_v52_SE52BENCH/single_day/cctm_input likely doesn’t exist, causing the error. APPL should just be set to SE52BENCH or another string of your choice, not a directory structure.

We also don’t advise to use ICON and BCON for version 5.2 and instead recommend using ICON and BCON for version v5.3 or later.

Thank you for your detailed help.

I changed the APPL as SE52BENCH, and fixed the path of GRIDDESC and LAYER_FILE, so it did work!
