The whole antarctica/mesh/ dir was gitignored to keep the large .msh/.h5 files out of git, but that also hid the 155-byte boundary_ids*.json files that every solver script reads by default (ISMIP7_BNDIDS -> calving/other physical-line ids for the calving-terminus BC). A fresh clone hit a missing default path. Switch the rule to 'antarctica/mesh/*' + a '!boundary_ids*.json' negation (a negation under the dir form is a no-op) and commit the four files. These encode the gmsh $PhysicalNames split: addPhysicalGroup() auto-numbers the alternating Calving_/Other_ segments 1,2,3,... so odd=calving, even=other. Caveat: boundary_ids_buffered.json (55 ids) matches only the 4km/8km buffered meshes; the finer buffered meshes have 35 ids (use boundary_ids.json). The buffered sidecar is not yet per-mesh.

…s generator - forcing.py: load_racmo_smb_climatology() reprojects RACMO ANT11 SMB to EPSG:3031 (rasterio) and samples to the mesh via icepack.interpolate - control/run.py: use RACMO climatology as the SMB baseline (acabf fallback), report area-weighted mean SMB - simulation.py: VAF/mass diagnostics use SI ice density (RHO_I_SI=917); the imported icepack rho_I is in MPa-m-yr units and was zeroing the output - mesh.py / mesh_antarctica.py: loaders take data_dir so they resolve antarctica/data instead of <project>/data - make_boundary_ids.py: generate boundary_ids.json from mesh $PhysicalNames Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The boundary-id sidecar only matches the specific mesh it was generated from (its segment count is a deterministic function of the BedMachine input and SIMPLIFY_TOL/SUBSAMPLE). Committing a fixed sidecar silently mismatches any mesh built from different inputs. Instead, make_boundary_ids exposes an importable write_boundary_ids(), and mesh_antarctica.py calls it after writing each mesh so the sidecar always matches the local mesh.

…orcing Reconciles our local work with the upstream ocean-melt branch. Conflict resolutions: - simulation.py: keep upstream's ocean_melt mass sink and h_clamp=0; take upstream's _RHO_I_SI/362.5 for the VAF/mass diagnostic (same fix as ours), dropping our redundant RHO_I_SI/GT_PER_MM_SLE duplicates. - control/run.py: RACMO climatology SMB baseline (ours) + per-basin ocean-melt callback (theirs); union imports; construct atm lazily in the acabf fallback. - forcing.py: our load_racmo_smb_climatology alongside their Burgard melt parameterization (auto-merged). boundary_ids policy: sidecars are now generated locally to match the mesh (mesh_antarctica.py emits one), so .gitignore ignores the whole mesh dir and upstream's four committed (35-segment) sidecars are dropped — they matched no mesh reproducible from the repo.

Adds make_synthetic_ocean_callback: prescribes TF(draft) = clip(tf_max * |draft|/depth_ref, 0, tf_max) and runs it through the Burgard quadratic_mixed_slope melt with constant salinity and the default scalar K. Needs no ocean/meltMIP data, so it works without the Globus download. Opt-in via ISMIP7_SYNTHETIC_MELT=1 (tunable with ISMIP7_SYNTH_TF_MAX / ISMIP7_SYNTH_DEPTH_REF); the real per-basin K path remains the default and is unchanged. Uncalibrated development stopgap, not protocol forcing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Debugging tooling for the diagnostic solver: - simulation.py: opt-in SNES/KSP convergence monitoring (ISMIP7_SNES_MONITOR), routed to a per-run file via ISMIP7_SNES_LOG (ascii:<file>) or stdout, so concurrent debug runs don't interleave. - control/run.py: --snes-monitor / --snes-log CLI flags that set those, plus a --restart <checkpoint.h5> option to resume a control run. - simulation.py: clamp the loaded thickness to h_clamp on restart, so a run never resumes below the floor (no-op for the default h_clamp=0). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- --tag (ISMIP7_RUN_TAG): suffix on experiment_name so concurrent/successive runs write distinct output files instead of overwriting each other. - --checkpoint-interval (ISMIP7_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL): control how often thickness+velocity checkpoints are saved (e.g. frequent snapshots for debugging). Default 100, so existing behavior is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Default to antarctica_64000_500_aniso.msh (the mesh behind inversion_icepack2_500.h5) instead of the 1 km aniso mesh, raise the memory gate to 128 GB for the ~7M-DOF MUMPS factorization, and mark the script executable. This is the configuration that produced inversion_icepack2_rc_500.h5.
ISMIP7_FRICTION=regularized_coulomb makes setup_model() drive the prognostic system from the inversion_icepack2_rc_<lc>.h5 MAP: - geometry (thickness/bed/surface) and velocity_obs are taken from the checkpoint itself, so the Weertman anchor C_w0 — and hence the meaning of the inverted theta — is reproduced exactly; a node-ordering check guards the dof copy (also protects the existing Budd path). - the diagnostic solves build_rc_residual on the LIVE prognostic (h, s): grounded gate, Coulomb cap c0*N, and driving stress all track the evolving geometry, so the grounding line migrates with exact-zero shelf drag and no thickness clamp anywhere (h_clamp_init defaults to 0 in RC mode; h_visc_floor=10 m handles the ice-free buffer). - composite alpha defaults to the inversion's 1e-2 in RC mode so the forward diagnostic is consistent with the MAP. - setup_model now reports the initial velocity misfit vs observations (the rc_500 checkpoint predates its final report, so this is where we learn how converged that MAP is). Verified at LC=32000 against the completed RC inversion: the forward reproduces the checkpoint's saved velocity to rel L2 = 3.2e-9, and a short dt=0.1 clamp-free prognostic runs cleanly.
The acabf-anomaly files are referenced to the ESM's 1960-1989 climatology, and no historical scenario exists in the local data tree — so the projection driver's anomaly-only SMB was missing the entire climatological accumulation, while the CTRL driver's climatology lookup silently fell back to zero SMB. Fix both sides consistently: - ssp585 driver: force with the full acabf(t) field (smb_anomaly=False, new make_forcing_callback knob). Against a CTRL held at the 2015-2029 acabf mean, projection minus control is the forced signal relative to the 2015-centered climate with no anomaly re-referencing. - control driver: compute the reference climatology from full acabf pooled over historical + projection scenarios in an env-configurable window (default 2015-2029, the locally available years); raise instead of silently running a zero-SMB control. - both drivers pick up the calibrated per-basin K npz (falling back to the 2500 m calibration — 16 basin scalars remapped via the IMBIE2 8 km grid, mesh-independent); ssp585 default dt is now 0.1 per the May dt sweep. - launch_rc_ctrl_when_ready.sh: resource-gated launcher for the 500 m regularized-Coulomb CTRL2015 verification run (dt=0.1, 2015-2025, 24 ranks), logging under antarctica/results/logs/ so run logs survive reboots. End-to-end tested at LC=32000 through control/run.py with ISMIP7_FRICTION=regularized_coulomb.
Bring Dan's fixes into the antarctica branch: RACMO2.4p1 SMB climatology baseline (load_racmo_smb_climatology), SNES/KSP convergence monitoring with per-run log routing, restart/argparse tooling in the control driver, the synthetic depth-dependent melt stopgap (ISMIP7_SYNTHETIC_MELT=1), and the boundary-ids generator (make_boundary_ids.py; the static boundary_ids*.json leave tracking). control/run.py resolution composes both sides: RACMO stays the primary CTRL baseline (area-weighted mean report), the fallback is the pooled historical+projection full-acabf climatology (anomaly means are wrt 1960-1989 and are not a baseline), and a missing climatology is a hard error instead of a silent zero-SMB control (ISMIP7_ALLOW_ZERO_SMB=1 to override). The OI-climatology + per-basin calibrated K path remains the default ocean forcing.
SMB(t) = RACMO_clim + [aSMB(t) - mean(aSMB over the reference window)]: the acabf-anomaly is referenced to the ESM's 1960-1989 climatology, so re-referencing over the CTRL window (2015-2029 of it exists locally) removes that mismatch, and the RACMO baseline keeps projection and control on the same absolute SMB. Falls back to full acabf(t) when RACMO is absent. make_forcing_callback grows an smb_baseline parameter (per-node array added to the anomaly each step). Also: run_simulation nsteps now rounds instead of truncating (a 285-yr dt=0.1 run silently lost its final step), and the RC CTRL launcher verifies boundary_ids.json exists (untracked on this branch) and pins ISMIP7_BNDIDS for the run.
front, and an observation mask for the inversion Investigating the mass gain Dan saw. A new per-step mass audit in run_simulation attributes dM to SMB - melt - boundary outflux - calving and exposes any created mass; at 32 km it immediately caught two real leaks in the pre-existing scheme: - the -h*div(u*phi) volume term is non-conservative for DG0 (spurious h*div(u) mass at thickness jumps; +4700 Gt/yr at the test front). For piecewise constants the facet upwind terms alone are the finite-volume scheme, so the volume term is now dropped by default. - the L2 DG0->CG1 projection undershoots negative at steep fronts and the h floor then injects mass (+7600 Gt/yr step-1 at 32 km). Replaced by a lumped-mass projection (convex combination of adjacent cell values: bounded, no floor injection, integral-preserving). With both fixes the audited budget closes to machine precision (resid = 0.00, clamp = 0.0-0.2 Gt/yr). ISMIP7_LEGACY_TRANSPORT=1 restores the old scheme for comparison. ISMIP7_FIXED_FRONT=1 (now set by the RC CTRL launcher) removes ice that flows past the initially ice-free cells and tallies it as calving flux - without it a buffered mesh has no calving sink (~1300 Gt/yr in reality) and must gain mass. Only meaningful with a true-geometry initial state (RC mode). The inversion misfit now excludes nodes without velocity observations (MEaSUREs ERR > 0 defines coverage; icepack zero-fills NODATA, which read as "observed stationary" and prescribed friction where there is no constraint). Coverage gaps are small - 0.7% of grounded, 0.5% of floating area - so this is rigor, not the mass-gain culprit. obs_mask is saved in inversion checkpoints; ISMIP7_OBS_MASK=0 reverts.
get_thermal_forcing/get_salinity now load one (variable, year) slice out of its decadal chunk file into an in-memory nearest-neighbour RegularGridInterpolator over (z, y, x), cached across steps. The previous pointwise xarray .interp over the open_mfdataset dask graph cost ~10 minutes per step even at 5k mesh nodes; the new path reads a year in ~2 s and answers in ~1 ms, and is verified bit-identical to an xarray nearest-neighbour reference over 2000 random points and drafts. Nearest-neighbour also matches the OI-climatology CTRL path and the per-basin K calibration. A 32 km SSP5-8.5 step now costs the same as a CTRL step (~10 s after warm start, was ~675 s). ISMIP7_K_SCALE multiplies the melt K in both the projection callback and the CTRL driver (the calibrated per-basin K integrates 689 vs 865 Gt/yr observed on the 2500 m mesh; 1.26 matches the observed total).
The front mask was derived from the run's starting h, so a restarted run (the CTRL -> projection chain) would re-mask cells that legitimately retreated mid-run inside the observed extent and forbid them from re-advancing. setup_model now exposes the t=0 BedMachine/inversion thickness as ctx["H_init"] (restart_from does not overwrite it) and run_simulation builds the mask from that. Cold-start behavior is unchanged (verified identical at 32 km).
Local working-notes patterns belong in each clone's .git/info/exclude rather than the shared .gitignore, and the README's writeup pointer now names only the tracked document.
All ESM-forced core experiments (historical 1/2, SSP projections 3-8) are the same run with different (esm, scenario, period), so the nine drivers are now thin shims over experiment.run_core_experiment. That puts every fix from this week's work in force for the whole matrix at once: RACMO baseline + aSMB re-referenced over one shared pool (historical + ISMIP7_CLIM_SCENARIO, 2000-2029) so all cores and the CTRL share a single baseline and the 2014/2015 historical->projection handoff is seamless; calibrated per-basin K with the 2500 m fallback; dt=0.1; hard fast-failure (seconds, before the expensive model setup) when the forcing tree for an (ESM, scenario) is not downloaded, instead of silently running anomaly-only/zero-SMB. OCX (core 11) is rebuilt as a genuinely observation-forced run: RACMO actual-year SMB (1979-2023) + constant OI-climatology ocean with per-basin K — runnable entirely from local data. The OI-climatology ocean callback moves from control/run.py into icepack2_tools.forcing (shared by CTRL and OCX). Verified at 32 km: the ssp585 shim reproduces the standalone driver's results exactly; OCX runs with a closed mass budget; missing-data drivers (historical, ssp370) fail in ~7 s with the download hint. Co-authored work retained from prior drivers; fracture masks are loaded when present but still not applied to the thickness update (open protocol item).
Gate log, run log, and lockfile move from /tmp (wiped on reboot — the Jun 20 rc_500 inversion log was lost that way) to the repo results tree, tagged by resolution so a 2500 m and a 500 m gate can coexist.
The AIS_ocean/share_with_modellers tree is gone; data now lives under CMIP6_test_protocol/AIS mirroring the runtime layout, so downloads land directly in ISMIP7/AIS/ (no rename step, closing the README caveat). Auth is now headless-first: the script's own refresh-token cache, then the globus CLI token store (~/.globus/cli/storage.db keeps a long-lived transfer refresh token + the per-user confidential client), then an interactive login that now requests refresh tokens so it is one-time. The destination endpoint defaults to the Globus Connect Personal id registered on the machine. Transfers verify checksums. Manifest updated to what the share actually carries today: the SDBN1 1960-1989 long-term means (the exact reference climatology of the acabf-anomaly files), ocean ct/sa climatology+bias, the newer 06_nov OI climatology (1972-2024), the ISMIP7 obs kit, IMBIE v3, grid, and topography. NOT yet published upstream: historical yearly forcing, processed ssp126/ssp370, all of MRI-ESM2-0 — and the processed ssp585 tree we hold locally is no longer on the share (treat it as irreplaceable). Co-existing raw CMIP output lives in ../CMIPraw for when processing becomes necessary.
- build_oi_climatology_interpolators grows ISMIP7_OI_VERSION (default 30_sep, matching the per-basin K calibration; 06_nov selects the reorganized share's 1972-2024 re-release). The 06_nov so/thetao files currently ship the tf field by mistake (upstream packaging bug, reported) - the reader refuses them with an explanatory error instead of silently melting with TF-as-salinity. - load_K_per_basin falls back to the IMBIE v3 basin file when the calibration-era v2 is absent (verified identical basinNumber field, so the calibrated per-basin K remains valid with either). - scripts/preflight.py: five-second per-core readiness table checking every input each experiment needs (mesh, MAP, boundary ids, K, RACMO, OI climatology, atmosphere/ocean coverage over the run period), honoring the same env knobs as the runs. Current verdict: cores 7, 9, 11 READY (core 10 = core 9 while RACMO is the baseline); 1-6, 8 blocked on unpublished upstream forcing.
Re-walked the whole GHub tree to diagnose what climate forcing is pullable. The collection is mid-reorganization: CMIPraw is now gone entirely, AIS/MRI-ESM2-0 does not exist, and AIS/CESM2-WACCM holds only climatologies + bias ingredients (no scenario dirs, no per-year forcing). Everything still pullable is already mirrored locally, so the downloader is a no-op. The processed CESM2-WACCM/ssp585 forcing we run from (133 GB) is no longer on the share — flag the local copy as irreplaceable.
The 500 m RC CTRL crashed in setup_model's initial n=1->4 continuation (DIVERGED_MAX_IT): a fine mesh + a rough mid-optimization MAP outruns Newton across the 5-step ramp, and unlike the timestep loop the initial solve had no retry. Now it restores the initial guess and re-ramps with 2x then 4x steps on divergence (ISMIP7_CONTINUATION_STEPS, default 8), and reports the step count that worked. 32 km reproduces the identical initial misfit and VAF/mass through the new path (no regression).
On the 500 m mesh each diagnostic solve is costly, so seed the adaptive continuation finer (16) rather than failing at 8 and re-ramping.
Diagnosis of the 500 m CTRL divergence: the rc_500 MAP (a 20-iter mid-optimization checkpoint) carries ~700 theta/phi nodes with |.| up to 23, i.e. exp() coefficients ~1e10 that are local singularities the SNES cannot solve through — not a step-size issue. A converged MAP is O(1) everywhere (rc_32000 maxes at 1.64). setup_model now clips theta/phi to |.|<=ISMIP7_MAP_CLIP (default 6) and logs the count, removing the pathology (0.1% of nodes) without touching real structure. No-op for converged MAPs. Pairs with the adaptive continuation to unblock the 500 m cold start pending a proper re-inversion.
Adds a minimum-yield shelf-drag knob to the RC forward and records the multi-step instability diagnosis. The RC diagnostic velocity blows up ~2x/step in prognostic use (global, hypersensitive to sub-percent geometry change) — confirmed independent of transport scheme (legacy and conservative both blow up), independent of the fixed calving front (on/off identical), and NOT curable by shelf drag (tested up to 50 kPa, already enough to defeat RC's purpose). Budd ran stably for 10-20 steps in May, so this is RC-specific: exact-zero shelf drag + composite viscosity leaves the mixed diagnostic system near-singular as h evolves. The knob and MAP clip / adaptive continuation stay as robustness options; the forward prognostic needs Budd (proven stable) or a monolithic implicit coupling.
Following the pivot away from the prognostically-unstable RC forward: a resource-gated 2500 m Budd CTRL2015 validation run with the full conservation pipeline (RACMO SMB, OI ocean + per-basin K, conservative transport, fixed front, h_clamp_init=0, dt=0.1). Also confirms the Budd + fixed-front + h_clamp_init=0 config (new since May, which used h_clamp_init=10); a non-converging run self-terminates in ~10 steps so gating is safe. The rc_ctrl launcher is superseded for forward use.
Per the requirement that shelves carry ZERO basal friction. The dual
ACTION form (phi_eff floored) cannot do exact-zero shelf drag without
the nonlinear solve failing (gia found this too), so Budd moves to the
residual closure in dual_friction.build_rc_residual, generalized with
fric_law='budd':
tau_b = C_w0 exp(theta He) |u|^(1/m-1)u * N_hat
N_hat = N_eff/N_ref, PISM-delta grounded floor (delta*local overburden,
Bueler & van Pelt 2015, default 0.02), Joughin cap (<=3),
EXACT-zero shelf via conditional(N_eff>0, ., 0).
N_hat is normalized to 1 at the reference (inversion) geometry, so the
inverted friction is reproduced at t=0 and the effective-pressure
feedback is purely prognostic. Exact-zero shelves remove the damping
that made the RC forward blow up, so this adds the gia-style STRONG
GL-gated viscosity coercivity collar (alpha_gl*(1-He)*linear regularizer,
~0 on the grounded trunk) that buys the stability back without any shelf
drag. Mirrors gia-icepack ase_model.momentum_F (the monolithic ASE run).
setup_model + inversion_icepack2 wire ISMIP7_FRICTION=budd through the
residual (MAP tag _budd; needs its own inversion). Knobs: ISMIP7_BUDD_DELTA
(0.02), ISMIP7_BUDD_NHAT_CAP (3), ISMIP7_ALPHA_GL (0.5). The old phi_eff
action Budd stays as ISMIP7_FRICTION=budd_legacy. RC path unchanged.
Verified on a synthetic grounded->floating mesh: residual assembles
NaN-free (the 0/0 shelf division is floored before the conditional) and
N_hat=0 on every floating node (exact-zero shelf). Full-mesh solve +
_budd inversion pending resources (box at load 308).
setup_model now takes the compute mesh + reference fields (theta/phi, geometry, frozen anchors) from the inversion/restart checkpoint via load_mesh/load_function, instead of Mesh(.msh) + raw dof-copy. A fresh .msh repartitions with a different dof order, so the old raw copy scrambled the saved fields at any rank count != the one the checkpoint was written on (the -n4 node-ordering tripwire crash). The checkpoint mesh carries the full boundary-marker set, so the calving BC is preserved. Validated: a 32km Budd cold start now runs on -n4 (was a hard crash); a -n4-written checkpoint reloads cleanly on -n6. run_simulation checkpoints are now self-contained (mesh + theta/phi/bed/ C_w0/N_ref/phi_eff/H_init + h/s/velocity + a t_yr attribute) and written atomically (temp file + rename, so a reboot mid-write can't corrupt the restart target), on a year-based cadence (ISMIP7_CHECKPOINT_EVERY_YR, default 5) pruned to the last N (ISMIP7_KEEP_CHECKPOINTS, default 3). Restart is time-aware: it resumes the timeline at the checkpoint's saved t_yr (so time-varying SSP forcing lands on the correct year) and reads the frozen anchors (C_w0/N_ref/phi_eff/H_init) from the checkpoint rather than recomputing them from the evolved geometry, which would silently change the friction law mid-run. The budget-audit CSV is appended per step and flushed (it used to be dumped only at completion, so a reboot lost the whole history) and is truncated-at-resume-then-appended on a restart. control/run.py gains opt-in unattended auto-resume (ISMIP7_AUTO_RESUME) via a new latest_checkpoint() helper.
# Conflicts: # antarctica/scripts/control/run.py
Restart validation (32km Budd, resume at t=2015.5) exposed two gaps after the 19b2f7d hardening: - Checkpoints saved only the velocity component of the mixed state, so a restarted step-1 Newton started from (u, 0, 0) and fell back into a fresh continuation ramp. Save/restore membrane_stress and basal_stress too (old checkpoints still load; the guess simply stays cold). - A solve that STARTS at the converged state (restart step 1: geometry unchanged since the setup continuation) has ||F|| at the rounding floor already, and the nleqerr linesearch then fails on a residual it cannot reduce - a spurious ConvergenceError. After the setup continuation converges, set snes_atol to 100x the achieved residual norm so such solves report converged at iteration 0. Geometry changes during stepping push ||F_0|| far above this, leaving the rtol path untouched. Verified: resume-continue at 32km now steps directly (0.7s vs 34s + full re-continuation), trajectory continuous, budget resid 0.00, and the round-trip old-format -> stress-bearing -> resume chain works at mixed rank counts.
check_ismip6_track.py turns "the simulation is on the right track" into a checkable claim: audits a run's timeseries CSV against observed Antarctic budget envelopes (IMBIE dM/dt, Rignot/Adusumilli shelf melt and calving, RACMO SMB) and ISMIP6-class control drift (|dVAF/dt| <= 2 mm SLE/yr post transient), plus an automatic-FAIL discharge-runaway detector tuned to the Jul 2026 blow-up signature (>=1.5x/yr sustained growth or >6000 Gt/yr). Exit 0 iff no FAIL rows, so launch gates can chain on it. First use: the 32km ocean-drag test chain correctly stopped at OFF TRACK. download_forcing.py: record the 2026-07-18 Globus re-walk - collection unchanged since Jul 8 (all 8 available sets mirrored; every SSP scenario dir, MRI-ESM2-0, and CMIPraw still absent upstream), so cores 1-6/8 stay blocked on the forcing group republishing.
…tate Root cause of the Jul 2026 RC/Budd forward blow-up, localized with a 32km probe: NOT the split-step coupling per se. Two initialization-consistency defects compounded at the steep PIG grounding-zone thickness gradient (x,y = -1601,-284 km; h=740 m, HAF=-9 m): 1. The initial (MAP velocity, BedMachine thickness) pair carries a local flux-divergence spike (~1e3 m/yr): with NO forcing at all, step 1 digs a ~90 m surface depression whose driving-stress response spikes velocity 50x at the neighbor node and cascades globally (~2x/step outflux). This explains every prior negative result: dt=0.01 blows up FASTER (per-solve response x more steps), alpha_gl 0.5 vs 5.0 identical, transport-scheme and fixed-front independent, eps_tauc no-op (floors the Coulomb cap where tau_W ~ C_w0 ~ 0). 2. The per-step CG1 -> DG0 -> CG1 thickness roundtrip (L2 project + lumped lift) is a smoother whose perturbation at that gradient re-triggers the response even from an exactly balanced state - the one-time lift moves nodal h by up to 1394 m at 32 km. Fixes, mirroring gia-icepack forward_monolithic's a_ref but built with this scheme's own discrete operator so cancellation is exact: - ISMIP7_APPARENT_MB=1 (balance): frozen DG0 a_ref = [FLUX(h0,u0) - (SMB0-melt0)]/area per cell -> t=0 tendency EXACTLY zero, an ISMIP6 ctrl_proj-style balanced control. =div cancels only the divergence (tendency = SMB-melt). Zeroed on beyond-front cells (calving tally stays the sink), saved in checkpoints, own amb_gtyr budget/CSV column, ISMIP7_AMB_CAP optional clip. - DG0 h_dg is now the persistent prognostic state: projected from CG once (cold start: one-time DG-consistent lift + diagnostic re-solve so the loop's geometry is self-consistent from step 1), carried in checkpoints (thickness_dg), CG1 h derived one-way. Legacy transport keeps the old per-step re-projection. - Floor-cell coercivity drag (gia ocean_drag, ISMIP7_OCEAN_DRAG=1e-2, h<10 m only): pins ice-free buffer velocity; initial misfit improves 1.27e4 -> 1.19e4. gia's u_lim soft limiter is plumbed but default-off: its kink breaks the nleqerr continuation (isolated by bisection). Result (32 km Budd CTRL, dt=0.1): 10-yr run is ISMIP6-grade flat - VAF drift +0.06 mm SLE/yr, dM/dt +106 Gt/yr, discharge 834 (peak 1256) Gt/yr, budget residual 0.00 - check_ismip6_track.py: ON TRACK, 0 FAIL rows. Previously: outflux 556 -> 139,000 Gt/yr in 10 steps.
… gate Transport: cell-average the mass source to DG0 (exact for the DG0 test space) and limit the net sink to the ice available in the cell (gia a_step clamp): src >= -(h - h_clamp)/dt. The implicit upwind system is then an M-matrix with nonnegative RHS, so thickness cannot undershoot and the post-solve floor is a true no-op; the withheld sink is tallied into the clamp budget column so resid stays closed. Previously ssp585 melt overdrew thin shelf cells below zero and the floor injected the mass back (~130 Gt/yr by 2017, ~360 by 2025 - tallied but avoidable). launch_rc_inversion_when_ready.sh: ISMIP7_FRICTION now env-overridable (budd -> inversion_icepack2_budd_<lc>.h5) with friction-tagged log/lock names; armed for the 2500 m Budd MAP the production forward needs. 32 km 10-yr CTRL with the limiter: ON TRACK, 0 FAIL (VAF drift +0.1 mm SLE/yr, resid 0.00).
The 32 km ssp585 projection from the balanced init runs 9.4 clean years and then hits a diagnostic-Newton wall at the 2024.5->2024.6 geometry (ssp585 melt ~2100 Gt/yr thins front cells): nleqerr fails; newtontr (gia's coupled-solver choice) converges 2024.5 in one try but stalls at 2024.6; patient trust region (maxit 800) collapses its radius (DIVERGED_TR_DELTA at 619 its), so the step is hard, not iteration-starved. Expose snes_type and snes_max_it as env knobs for experimentation; defaults unchanged (newtonls / 200). The saved 2024.5 state is a ready reproducer; next levers are a dt-halving retry in the split loop, front-configuration localization, or the monolithic port.
- download_forcing.py now mirrors straight into ISMIP7/AIS (drop the layout-mismatch caveat + known issue; new remote base path; point at the script's status comment for the upstream scenario-data gap) - boundary_ids sidecars: auto-generated by mesh_antarctica.py / make_boundary_ids.py, and mesh/ is now fully gitignored - friction-tagged MAP checkpoints (ISMIP7_FRICTION, _budd/_rc names) - control driver restart flags (--tag, --checkpoint-interval, ISMIP7_AUTO_RESUME), self-contained (u, M, tau) checkpoints - timeseries CSV schema: full mass-budget columns incl. amb_gtyr - env-knob table: checkpoint cadence, APPARENT_MB, FIXED_FRONT, LEGACY_TRANSPORT, SNES_TYPE/MAXIT - known issues: blow-up fixed (audits ON TRACK); remaining item is the diagnostic-Newton wall on hard projection geometries - check_ismip6_track.py audit documented under §6 - COMPOSITE_RHEOLOGY.md defaults updated for the residual friction laws - data/README reduced to a pointer at the §1 dataset table
The mid-July GHub "shrinking collection" was the reorganization in
flight: the data MOVED to a new top-level /ISMIP7 tree (earlier walks
started inside /ISMIP6/ISMIP7_Prep and never looked up). /ISMIP7/AIS
holds the full scenario matrix for BOTH ESMs (ctrl, ctrlclim,
historical, ssp126, ssp370, ssp534-over, ssp585; per-year SDBN1-8000m
and 2000m atmosphere, decadal-chunk ocean so/tf/thetao, fracture),
plus cmipraw, the real OCX forcing product, SMBmip, submission
templates, AntarcticaObsISMIP7-v1.2, and a FIXED 06_nov OI climatology
(so/thetao v4; the old tree's v3 so/thetao are byte-identical to tf -
the packaging bug we reported).
Add --scenarios [--esm ...] [--scenario ...]: mirrors the minimal
runtime sets (SDBN1-8000m acabf + acabf-anomaly, ocean tf + so,
fracture) per (ESM, scenario) as recursive-dir Globus transfers with
version autodetection and checksum sync (idempotent - re-run to check
completeness or fill gaps). Local CESM2-WACCM/ssp585 verified complete
against the new tree, so the local copy is no longer irreplaceable.
First submission: CESM {historical, ssp126, ssp370} + MRI {historical,
ssp126, ssp370, ssp585} + fracture masks, ~130 GB.

The Jul 18 2500m Budd inversion died ~11 hr in (iter 60, misfit already down 3.07e4 -> 5.2e3): tlm_adjoint's adjoint_jacobian_solve hit the SNES iteration cap at rough mid-optimization controls, and only the FORWARD solve was guarded. Wrap compute_gradient in the same recovery - restore the backup state and return an inflated objective with a zero gradient so L-BFGS-B backtracks its line search instead of crashing the run. Relaunched warm from the periodic checkpoint with this guard in place.

Intent
Robustness fix to the ISMIP7 Antarctica inversion driver: the 2500m Budd MAP inversion (launched to produce the production-resolution MAP the Budd forward needs) died ~11 hours in at iteration 60 - misfit already improved 3.07e4 -> 5.2e3 - because tlm_adjoint's adjoint_jacobian_solve raised a ConvergenceError (SNES 200-iteration cap at rough mid-optimization controls) and only the FORWARD solve inside objective_and_gradient was guarded. This commit wraps compute_gradient in the identical, deliberately-symmetric recovery already used for the forward: restore the backed-up mixed state and return an inflated objective (last_good_obj x 10) with a zero gradient, which makes scipy L-BFGS-B backtrack its line search instead of crashing the whole run. The z_backup restore being a no-op in this path (backup was refreshed just before the gradient call) is known and harmless. The inversion was relaunched warm from its iteration-40 periodic checkpoint with this guard active.
What Changed
antarctica/scripts: mesh generation with boundary-id sidecars, Budd and regularized-Coulomb friction inversions (now with an adjoint-solve failure guard mirroring the forward guard, so a tlm_adjoint ConvergenceError makes L-BFGS-B backtrack instead of crashing multi-hour runs), a conservative-transport forward model with crash-safe warm restarts and restart-mismatch guards, SNES tuning knobs, and gated single-instance production launchers.icepack2_toolssupport modules: version-autodetecting ISMIP7 forcing readers with cached interpolators (RACMO/ESM SMB, decadal ocean thermal forcing), a regridder, dual friction laws with exact-zero shelf friction, and ice/ocean plume coupling with correct transient time indexing.download_forcing.pywith checksum re-sync, a preflight readiness checker with per-year atmosphere coverage checks, an ISMIP6-track audit script, and per-experiment runner scripts for the cores 1-8 scenario matrix, plus READMEs and a composite-rheology doc. The no-mistakes review pass auto-fixed 22 findings across these paths (ocean coupling, launcher locks, forcing caches, unit conversions).Risk Assessment
✅ Low: The fix commit faithfully implements all ten requested remediations exactly per the user's instructions (verified against call sites, the restart-only guard placement, atm_years return types, the _lookup signature, and lock-directory creation), touches none of the ask-user-deferred behaviors, and leaves the intent-critical adjoint guard intact.</risk_rationale>
["Verified the restart env guards are confined to the is_restart branch so cold starts from a MAP still build a fresh a_ref (read simulation.py:193-290)","Verified atm_years returns [] (never None) so the new set-difference gap check in preflight cannot raise TypeError","Verified ISMIP7Ocean._lookup(variable, year, mesh_x, mesh_y, draft, nan_fill) matches the new coupled.py calls and returns None to trigger the TF fallback","Verified the atomic noclobber lock acquire preserves the lock-retained-as-run-marker semantics (trap - EXIT after launch) and that mkdir -p precedes the acquire in all three launchers","Verified the _load_year cache is keyed (variable, int(year)), bounded, and that get_field consumes the cached in-memory DataArray","Confirmed no ask-user-flagged code (forcing units, flotation density, mesh buffer, run_control.py, regrid.py, experiment.py, .gitignore) was modified and the adjoint guard commit is untouched"]
Testing
Reproduced the exact production failure mode (ConvergenceError from compute_gradient mid L-BFGS-B) in a scaled-down real run of the inversion driver on synthetic inputs: the guarded code recovers and finishes the optimization while the pre-guard baseline crashes, demonstrating the fix works end-to-end; worktree left clean.
Evidence: Guarded run log - injected adjoint failure, recovery, completed optimization
Evidence: Pre-guard baseline log - identical injection crashes with uncaught ConvergenceError

icepack2_tools/forcing.py:37- smb_kgm2s_to_myr converts kg/m^2/s with an extra (rho_water/rho_ice) factor: kg/m^2/s * SEC_PER_YEAR / rho_ice already yields m ice/yr, so every ESM SMB field (full acabf and aSMB anomalies for cores 1-8) is inflated ~9%. It also contradicts load_racmo_smb_climatology (line 69, divides by rho_ice only), so in experiment.py's anomaly re-referencing the RACMO baseline and the anomaly are in mismatched units and the forced-anomaly signal is ~9% too strong. If the extra factor is intentional (e.g. some inputs are actually m w.e.), the docstring and the RACMO loader disagree with it.icepack2_tools/forcing.py:700- The ocean-melt flotation mask haf = s - (b + (_RHO_WATER/_RHO_ICE)*max(-b,0)) uses fresh water 1000 kg/m^3, while the momentum model and geometry use seawater 1024 (icepack2.constants water_density; simulation.py rho_ratio 917/1024). Ice in the band between the two ratios is floating in the model but classified grounded here, so basal melt is silently zeroed on a near-grounding-line shelf band - exactly where melt controls retreat. Affects make_climatology_ocean_callback (line 700) and make_forcing_callback (line 771), plus control/run.py:136.icepack2_tools/coupled.py:112- In update_ambient_from_ocean, when the ocean time coordinate is np.datetime64 (not cftime), the else branch sets idx = 0 unconditionally, freezing the plume's ambient T/S at the first time slice for the entire simulation and silently removing all transient ocean forcing. forcing.py:_year_field (lines 359-367) handles the datetime64 branch correctly with ds['time'].dt.year; the same handling belongs here.antarctica/scripts/mesh_antarctica.py:131- Buffer env logic is inverted: ISMIP7_BUFFER_M defaults to 20000 locally, but os.environ is only set when buffer_m == 0. With the var unset (default invocation) the env stays unset and icepack2_tools/mesh.py:156 reads its own default '0', so the mesh is built with NO ocean buffer while the script prints 'Buffer: 20 km'. Conversely an explicit ISMIP7_BUFFER_M=0 is overridden to 20 km while printing 'Buffer: 0 km'. Existing meshes may have been generated under either behavior, so confirm which geometry is intended before fixing.antarctica/scripts/launch_ctrl_when_ready.sh:65- The Budd CTRL launcher gates on inversion_icepack2_${LC}.h5, but the job it launches (control/run.py -> simulation.setup_model with friction defaulting to 'budd') loads inversion_icepack2_budd_${LC}.h5 (map_tag '_budd', simulation.py:116-119; the Budd inversion writes the _budd name and preflight.py agrees). The launcher refuses to arm even when the correct _budd MAP exists, or - if only a legacy untagged file exists - waits for resources and launches a multi-rank job that dies immediately on the missing _budd file.antarctica/scripts/run_control.py:127- run_control.py appears to be a stale duplicate of the control/run.py + simulation.py path (production launchers all invoke control/run.py) and carries three bugs the newer path explicitly fixed: (1) lines 127-134 load MAP fields on the checkpoint mesh then raw dof-copy into functions on a fresh Mesh(.msh), scrambling theta/phi at any rank count - the exact '-n4 tripwire crash' simulation.py:119-126 documents and fixes; (2) lines 303-304 compute Gt/mm-SLE diagnostics with rho_I from icepack2.constants, which is 917/year^2*1e-6 in MPa-yr units, not 917 kg/m^3 - simulation.py defines _RHO_I_SI for exactly this; (3) line 217 truncates nsteps with int() instead of rounding, the bug simulation.py:658-659 fixed. It also loads the untagged MAP filename and uses a rank-local u_c mean (line 139-141), making its friction partition-dependent. If the script is superseded, deleting it removes all of these; if it is still meant to be runnable, these are errors.icepack2_tools/regrid.py:56- ISMIP7Regridder is serial-only despite PETSc.Sys.Print framing: the bounding box comes from rank-local coordinates min/max with no allreduce, VertexOnlyMesh(redundant=True, the default per ~/firedrake/firedrake/mesh.py:3620) keeps only rank 0's points, so under mpiexec -n>1 most of the grid returns fill_value, ranks != 0 crash in crop.reshape(self._query_shape) (empty data), and save_netcdf (line 171) has every rank writing the same file. Either allreduce the bbox + guard the write and reshape, or explicitly document/assert serial-only use.antarctica/scripts/experiment.py:112- The pre-run forcing check verifies only that some acabf years exist and that ocean tf covers t_start; coverage of the full [t_start, t_end] window is never checked. Mid-run, ISMIP7Atmosphere.get_field returns all zeros for a missing year file and ISMIP7Ocean holds the nearest decadal chunk, so e.g. an ssp run to 2300 with a local tree ending at 2100 silently continues 200 years with zero SMB anomaly and held-at-2100 ocean forcing, producing plausible-looking but wrong output.antarctica/scripts/experiment.py:106- Projections restart from hist_*_final.h5 whose t_yr attr is 2014.0, and run_simulation (simulation.py:650-656) overrides the caller's t_start=2015 with the checkpoint year. Every '2015-2300' projection actually integrates from 2014.0: the first ~year of steps gets aSMB anomaly = 0 (no ssp file for 2014, silent zeros) with nearest-chunk ocean forcing, and all output rows are shifted to include 2014.x. Decide whether the handoff year should be advanced or the historical t_end changed.antarctica/scripts/simulation.py:868- _save_state records 'friction' (and apparent-MB state) as checkpoint attrs, but setup_model/run_simulation never validate the resume environment against them. Resuming a budd checkpoint with ISMIP7_FRICTION=regularized_coulomb loads cleanly and silently runs the wrong friction law against a theta inverted for the other law; forgetting ISMIP7_APPARENT_MB on resume silently drops the frozen mass-balance correction (the checkpointed a_ref_mb is loaded but ignored), re-triggering the flux-divergence spikes it exists to suppress. Cross-check the attrs on restart and abort (or at least warn loudly) on mismatch.icepack2_tools/coupled.py:93- update_ambient_from_ocean mixes arrays from two meshes: mesh_x/mesh_y come from the ice mesh while draft comes from the plume mesh (self.plume.ice_draft), and results are assigned into plume functions. The class docstring allows the plume on 'the same mesh or a submesh'; with a submesh the array lengths differ and np.column_stack / the dat.data assignment crashes. Take coordinates from the plume mesh.icepack2_tools/coupled.py:128- Ambient T/S are extracted via pointwise xarray.interp against the dask-backed open_mfdataset every ice timestep - the exact pattern forcing.py's _year_field docstring measured at ~10 min/step at 5k nodes and replaced with an in-memory RegularGridInterpolator. The coupled-plume path retains it, so per-step forcing updates will dominate runtime on realistic meshes.icepack2_tools/forcing.py:166- ISMIP7Atmosphere.init creates self._cache but _load_year never uses it: every get_smb call re-opens and fully re-interpolates the year's netCDF over all mesh nodes. At dt=0.1 that is 10 redundant loads per simulated year per rank; the ocean reader was given an interpolator cache for exactly this reason. Wire the cache in keyed by (year, variable).icepack2_tools/forcing.py:202- _load_year picks ds[data_vars[0]] after excluding only ('x','y','time') - which are coords, not data_vars, so the filter is a no-op - and never prefers the requested variable name. The ocean reader in the same file explicitly defends against crs/*_bnds data variables in this dataset family; an atmosphere file carrying a grid-mapping or bounds variable ordered first silently yields the wrong array, which flows into SMB as nan-filled zeros with no error. Prefer ds[variable] when present and exclude known non-physical vars.antarctica/scripts/preflight.py:113- On a machine without the ISMIP7 data tree, _find_ismip7_data() returns None and oi_ok() calls _oi_climatology_path(None, ...) -> os.path.join(None, ...) raises TypeError, crashing preflight mid-report at core 9 instead of printing BLOCKED - the exact fresh-machine scenario the script exists for. atmosphere_path/ocean_path already guard root is None; add the same guard here.antarctica/scripts/preflight.py:147- Atmosphere coverage is checked only at the endpoints (yrs[0] > y0 or yrs[-1] < y1), so interior missing years pass. Since ISMIP7Atmosphere.get_field silently returns zeros for a missing year file, a gappy mirror gets READY and the multi-hour run proceeds with silently-zero SMB for the missing years - the silent-corruption case preflight is meant to catch. Check set(range(y0, y1+1)) - set(yrs).antarctica/scripts/download_forcing.py:398- Directory completeness is judged by file count only (n_local >= n_remote excludes the dir from the transfer list), so an interrupted Globus transfer that left truncated files under final names counts as complete and is never re-submitted - meaning the sync_level='checksum' self-healing advertised in the docstring never runs for exactly the directories that need it. Consider always submitting (checksum sync makes complete dirs cheap) or adding a size check.antarctica/scripts/launch_ctrl_when_ready.sh:54- The single-instance lock is non-atomic ([ -e.gitignore:3- The bare 'data' pattern (replacing the old scoped antarctica/data/) ignores any file or directory named data anywhere in the repo (git check-ignore confirms e.g. icepack2_tools/data/... matches), so future source or fixture paths containing a data component are silently excluded from commits. Scope it back (e.g. antarctica/data/, /data/) unless the broad match is intended.antarctica/scripts/simulation.py:949- When the mid-run continuation retry fails, the loop breaks and _save_state writes the final checkpoint with z still holding the diverged Newton iterate, so the saved velocity/stress fields are garbage paired with step k-1 geometry. A restart survives (it re-solves with continuation fallback), but the checkpoint misrepresents the state for downstream analysis; noting the tradeoff.antarctica/scripts/inversion_icepack2.py:210- u_c = Constant(float(u_speed.dat.data_ro.mean())) averages only rank-local owned dofs, so its value is partition-dependent. In the production budd/RC paths (inversion_icepack2.py, simulation.py:299-301) this only feeds K_base in the unused legacy-action branch (the residual laws use the C_w0 anchor), so it is dormant - but any revival of the legacy branch inherits rank-dependent friction. An allreduce'd mean (or assemble-based average) would make it safe.antarctica/scripts/inversion_icepack2.py:511- The new adjoint guard conforms to the stated intent and mirrors the forward guard exactly. One theoretical edge: the inflated value is 10x the current trial misfit (excluding regularization); if a trial point ever cuts the misfit so far that 10x it still undercuts the last accepted total, L-BFGS-B would accept the step with a zero gradient and terminate declaring convergence rather than backtrack. With 10x inflation this is very unlikely, and the run would end gracefully with checkpoints intact - noting only for awareness.🔧 Fix: Fix ocean coupling, launcher gating/locks, restart guards, forcing caches, preflight

antarctica/scripts/inversion_icepack2.py:65- inversion_icepack2.py imports colorcet at module level, but colorcet is not installed in ~/venv-firedrake-2026 (the active Firedrake 2026.4.1 env), so the script cannot even import there without a shim.
