Hello everyone,

I am trying to run the baroclinic wave case in OpenIFS. The default dry case works fine. It also works fine if I change the NTESTCASE from 41 (dry) to 42 (moist). However, in both of these cases the physics is turned off (LEPHYS=false). When I set LEPHYS=true (to turn on the ECMWF physics package), the model fails and the simulation crashed by entering surface control and asking surface temperature.
How do I run the baroclinic wave with the physics turned on? Also how the surface treated in the case of NTESTCASE=42?
Do you have any ideas on how to bypass surfaces definition without using Aquaplanet or deactivating humidity computation?
Thanks in advance!

Clement

    Hello everyone,

    I found the correct parameterisation for this simulation.
    Here's the NAMDYNCORE and NAEPHY parameters in my case:


    &NAMDYNCORE
    LAPE=true,
    LAQUA=true,
    MSSTSCHEME=4,
    NTESTCASE=42,
    CTEST_FAMILY="DCMIP12",
    /
    &NAEPHY
    LEPHYS=true,
    LEVDIF=true,
    LECOND=true,
    LECUMF=true,
    LEPCLD=true,
    LEEVAP=true,
    LEQNGT=true,
    NSTPW=3,
    RDEGREW=0.5,
    RSOUTW=-81.0,
    RNORTW=81.0,
    /

    Thank you everyone!

    Best,

    Clement
