Hello Liz,
I successfully built the latest version of MPAS 8.2.2 on both a Linux cluster and Windows Subsystem for Linux, and I ran the test cases without issues.
However, I faced challenges when attempting to compile the older version, MPAS 7.0, which is coupled with CMAQ 5.5 and requires PIO to be compiled. After downloading the PIO package (PIO 2.6.2), I encountered difficulties due to the absence of key files, such as the configure script. This required additional time and effort, so I decided to move forward with the latest version, MPAS 8.2.2, instead.
My question is:
When will the updated version of MPAS-CMAQ be released?
The updated MPAS-CMAQ using MPAS 8.2.2, as mentioned in the MPAS-CMAQ user guide, it states that “Version 8.2.2 does not require PIO to be compiled, which will eventually simplify its use with CMAQ.” This means that PIO is no longer necessary for MPAS 8.2.2.
Thanks,
Feng
