Information on the getregional_datasets script.

The getregional_datasets.pl script operates on global datasets and 
extracts out a regional box (or single point) within it.


QUICKSTART:


Here is how you would use the script to run a setup a simple case.

1.) Create list of input global files you want to extract from.

A sample file is: sample_inlist

2.) Create list of regional files that will be created.

A sample file is: sample_outlist

3.) Run getregional

set DIR=`pwd`
./getregional_datasets.pl -ne 74,221 -sw 51,189 -i sample_inlist -o sample_outlist

4.) Make sure the user_nl_clm and xmlchange_cmnds files are correct.

getregional will create a user_nl_clm file and a xmlchange_cmnds script to set
needed env_run settings.

3.) Create your case using the user_mods_dir option and CLM_USRDAT resolution

./create_newcase --res CLM_USRDAT --user_mods_dir $DIR --case testAlaska --compset I2000Clm50SpGs
