no longer working for obs4MIPs, PCMDIobs

[gleckler1]

@mauzey1 @durack1 CMOR no longer appears to be working for projects other than CMIP6. Using a code that previously worked with the following set in the input json:

_control_vocabulary_file":"PMPObs_CV.json

I am getting the following error:

(cdat_0611) bash-4.2$ python -i runCmor_ERA5_alllevs-CREATEIP.py

@gleckler1 which version of CMOR are you using, were you using?

[mauzey1]

@gleckler1 In CMOR 3.6.0, the term control vocabulary has been replaced with controlled vocabulary. So the correct input variable for the CV table should be _controlled_vocabulary.
This is reflected in CMIP6_input_example.json

@gleckler1 are you fixed? If so this should be closed

[gleckler1]

@durack1 Not quite. I was having a problem creating a new conda env with the latest CDAT and CMOR. When I have a chance to revisit that I will confirm this is fixed. For now I am using an older env. Any hints on how to create latest CDAT/CMOR are welcome.

@gleckler1 I tried installing both CMOR 3.6.0 and CDAT in the same conda environment but encountered conflicts. They seem to stem from a conflict with libnetcdf. CMOR 3.6.0 requires libnetcdf 4.7.4 but CDAT from conda still needs libnetcdf 4.6.2.

[durack1]

@mauzey1 is there a way to resolve this, without a lot of fiddling? For most of our workflows, we depend on CDAT alongside CMOR.

@muryanto1 @jasonb5 @downiec @forsyth2 FYI

@durack1 @mauzey1 @muryanto1 @jasonb5 @downiec @forsyth2
To be more specific, it is cdms that we rely on for CMOR. Can anyone advise on how to build a py3 conda env using the latest cmor and cdms?

[mauzey1]

@gleckler1
I have recently updated the CMOR 3.6.0 builds on conda-forge to use the "nompi" version of libnetcdf. Using the command conda create -n cmor_cdms2_env -c conda-forge cmor cdms2 python=3.8 creates an environment that installs the latest versions of CMOR and CDMS2.

@mauzey1 Many thanks, this works!
