`sfc_climo_gen`

Note

The uwtools drivers are idempotent, meaning that actions they successfully complete during one invocation are not repeated in subsequent invocations. For example, an asset like a configuration file will not be recreated when the driver is run again, even if its UW YAML configuration changes. To force recreation, remove the asset(s) in question – up to and including the entire provisioned run directory – then re-run the driver, which will recreate any missing assets based on the current configuration.

The uw mode for configuring and running the sfc_climo_gen component.

uw sfc_climo_gen --help

usage: uw sfc_climo_gen [-h] [--version] [--show-schema] TASK ...

Execute sfc_climo_gen tasks

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help
      Show help and exit
  --version
      Show version info and exit
  --show-schema
      Show driver schema and exit

Positional arguments:
  TASK
    namelist_file
      The namelist file

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help
      Show help and exit
  --version
      Show version info and exit
  --config-file PATH, -c PATH
      Path to UW YAML config file (default: read from stdin)
  --batch
      Submit run to batch scheduler
  --dry-run
      Only log info, making no changes
  --graph-file PATH
      Path to Graphviz DOT output [experimental]
  --key-path KEY[.KEY...]
      Dot-separated path of keys to driver config block
  --schema-file PATH

  --quiet, -q
      Print no logging messages
  --verbose, -v

Its contents are described in depth in section sfc_climo_gen.

Run sfc_climo_gen on an interactive node
```
$ uw sfc_climo_gen run --config-file config.yaml
```
The driver creates a runscript.sfc_climo_gen file in the directory specified by rundir: in the config and runs it, executing sfc_climo_gen.
Run sfc_climo_gen via a batch job
```
$ uw sfc_climo_gen run --config-file config.yaml --batch
```
The driver creates a runscript.sfc_climo_gen file in the directory specified by rundir: in the config and submits it to the batch system. Running with --batch requires a correctly configured platform: block in config.yaml, as well as appropriate settings in the execution: block under sfc_climo_gen:.
Specifying the --dry-run flag results in the driver logging messages about actions it would have taken, without actually taking any.
```
$ uw sfc_climo_gen run --config-file config.yaml --batch --dry-run
```

The --key-path option can be used to navigate from the top of the config to the driver’s configuration block. For example, specifying --key-path foo.bar with config
```
foo:
  bar:
    driver:
      # driver config block
```
is equivalent to using config
```
driver:
  # driver config block
```
without specifying --key-path.

The run task depends on the other available tasks and executes them as prerequisites. It is possible to execute any task directly, which entails execution of any of its dependencies. For example, to create an sfc_climo_gen run directory provisioned with all the files, directories, symlinks, etc. required per the configuration file:
```
$ uw sfc_climo_gen provisioned_rundir --config-file config.yaml --batch
```

Specifying the --show-schema flag, with no other options, prints the driver’s schema:

uw sfc_climo_gen --show-schema >schema
head -n20 schema

{
  "properties": {
    "sfc_climo_gen": {
      "additionalProperties": false,
      "properties": {
        "execution": {
          "additionalProperties": false,
          "properties": {
            "batchargs": {
              "additionalProperties": true,
              "properties": {
                "cores": {
                  "type": "integer"
                },
                "debug": {
                  "type": "boolean"
                },
                "exclusive": {
                  "type": "boolean"
                },

Use the --schema-file option to specify a custom JSON Schema file with which to validate the driver config. A custom schema could range in complexity from the simplest, most permissive schema, {}, to one based on the internal schema shown by --show-schema.
