"User defined region
If you like, you can select a model grid cell (Latitude/Longitude) to monitor during your experiment."

The area below this appears blank on my project page. How does it work? Does it? I'd love to be able to query my model or an ensemble average at a given place over time.

Looks like it's not working since the upgrade. I'll pass this on to the project people.

When it IS working, there's a red blob with a point, the same as on Google maps. You move it to where you want on the map, and the co-ordinates below it change to show where it is.

PS
2 of your models need to be Aborted, as per this post in the News and Announcements thread.

Thanks Les, I'd seen that post, but took no action because my model began with a 8 rather than a 7. It's the only one I have running at the moment - perhaps the other two have aborted spontaneously?? Having said that, the model I am running has been exhibiting unrealistically high Arctic temperatures; an indication of something amiss?

If and when the red marker is working again, how would I 'monitor' the geographically corresponding results?

Of the two beginning with 7, one crashed and the other appears to belong to another batch as its workunit isn't marked No resubmission.

Don't worry about the model whose number begins with 8 showing unrealistic temperatures. The starting values have to reflect the full plausible range. That's a wide range. Some of these will necessarily become unrealistic as they develop, but we crunchers are not supposed to decide where the cutoff point should be. The researchers have to calculate the likelihood of the different final values.

In any case, if the temperatures or air pressure or anything else become so abnormal as to be physically impossible the models are designed to crash with recognisable messages in the stderr output. I've had a couple that have crashed in this way, but also a number of hadcm3 that have developed very high levels of sulphur particles without crashing. They probably show what the atmosphere was like after a volcanic explosion like Krakatoa ie very unusual but physically possible.

So let your remaining models continue.

Apologies Les, I'd failed to check the other computer, which was indeed running one of the models marked for abortion.
