This Page will describe the use of the CMIP5 QC L2 software on raijin.

QC software is located at /g/data1/p66/QC

Steps for new user to run QC L2:

cd /g/data1/p66/QC/QCWrapper
cp -r pfu599 <user>
vi  <user>/conf/qc_ACCESS_template.conf
# Modify variables:
# QCDB_PERSON, QCDB_EMAIL, QC_DATA_ROOT (optional) 

Run these (via qsub) in order for each experiment: Set $model and $exp

1. call_qc_run.sh (runs the QC tool on this experiment
2. call_qc_ingest.sh (sends QC results to central database at DKRZ)
3. call_qc_cim.sh (generates cim files and summary statistics about QC results)
4. call_qc_assign.sh (finalizes QCL2). For this you will need to analyse the qc log output and the QCL2_statistics file. A comment explaining each of the error and warning messages should be included.

Comments on QC errors are documented at CMIP5 QC Errors
