The ESMX Data component is a lightweight testing component that derives from NUOPC_Model
. Each ESMX Data component provides a custom list of export fields with prescribed values and a custom list of import fields with value ranges for testing validity. Multiple ESMX Data components can be used in the same application for testing complex sets of connected components.
The ESMX Data component is included in all ESMX applications unless it is disabled in the ESMX_BUILD_FILE, see the following example.
application:
disable_comps: ESMX_Data
The ESMX Data component may be replaced in the ESMX_BUILD_FILE, see the following example.
components:
ESMX_Data:
source_dir: MyDataComponent
Each ESMX Data component is configured using YAML format, providing settings such as output, geom, import fields, and export fields.
Output options are configured under the output
key. If no key/value pair is provided then the default will be used.
Option key | Description / Value options | Default |
---|---|---|
write_final |
write import and export state to NetCDF during Finaize | true |
For an example, see the following configuration snippet.
ATM:
output:
write_final: true
Geometry options are configured under the geom
key. If no key/value pair is provided then the default will be used.
Option key | Description / Value options | Default |
---|---|---|
nx |
number of cells along the x-axis, typically longitude | 64 |
ny |
number of cells along the y-axis, typically latitude | 32 |
nz |
number of cells along the z-axis, ungridded dimension for layers | 4 |
coordSys |
ESMF_COORDSYS_CART , ESMF_COORDSYS_SPH_DEG , ESMF_COORDSYS_SPH_RAD |
ESMF_COORDSYS_SPH_DEG |
minx |
minimum coordinate for the x-axis, typically longitude | -126.0 |
miny |
minimum coordinate for the y-axis, typically latitude | 22.0 |
maxx |
maximum coordinate for the x-axis, typically longitude | -64.0 |
maxy |
maximum coordinate for the y-axis, typically latitude | 50.0 |
For an example, see the following configuration snippet.
ATM:
geom:
nx: 64
ny: 32
minx: -126.0
miny: 22.0
maxx: -64.0
maxy: 50.0
Import field list is configured under the importFields
key. See the following table for valid field configuration options.
Option key | Description / Value options | Default |
---|---|---|
dim |
number of dimensions | 2 |
min |
minimum valid field value | 0 |
max |
maximum valid field value | 0 |
For an example, see the following configuration snippet.
ATM:
importFields:
sea_surface_temperature: {dim: 2, min: 260, max: 280}
Export field list is configured under the exportFields
key. See the following table for valid field configuration options.
Option key | Description / Value options | Default |
---|---|---|
dim |
number of dimensions, 2 or 3, third dimension is ungridded | 2 |
val |
prescribed value used to fill field | 0 |
For an example, see the following configuration snippet.
ATM:
exportFields:
sea_surface_temperature: {dim: 2, val: 273}
