CABLE Known Problems

This page is a place to post the CABLE problems that are reported by the CABLE users and have not been resolved

CABLE OFFLINE

  • When running CABLE (serial version) on Mac OSX 10.7.X and OSX 10.9.X, inconsistent results may be produced in repetitive runs.

  • CABLE2.0 introduced the flag cable_user%CABLE_RUNTIME_COUPLED but this was not listed in the example cable.nml so it was easy to miss setting it. The flag is important because of differences in the counter 'ktau_gl' between atmosphere only and coupled model implementations and because ktau_gl is used to control some aspects of the soil moisture/snow initialisation. See #43 for more information. (30/01/14)

  • We are investigating a potential issue with the dry condition changes described in #24 when running with CASA-CNP including interactive LAI. The issue (low GPP/LAI) appears to be manifesting in the offline version but not in ACCESS runs. (30/01/14)

CABLE in ACCESS

  • There are currently issues with compiling the CABLE library on the raijin home file system (which are system related). The solution is to checkout and compile on /short (29/8/14). This has been found to extend to other files on $HOME. A workaround should you experience this difficulty is to keep things on /short/$PROJECT/$USER and link to them from $HOME. Note, however that backups generally do not follow links. NCI is aware of the issue with $HOME and are working to resolve this.

  • In standardising an ACCESS1.3b UMUI job for raijin/accesdev, we noted several instances where dereferencing $CABLE_AUX was problematic (This could be related to above issue). However, $HOME can always be properly dereferenced. Therefore the standardised UMUI job for ACCESS1.3b (vaheA) assumes your installation of CABLE-AUX is in your home directory. (i.e. $CABLE_AUX = $HOME)
