4. Setting the mapper with input fluxes

Here, we propose to prepare fluxes for the model. This is possible in the template by using the option include_fluxes in the model paragraph.

Try running the yaml as is. It will return an error because inputs (fluxes in our case) are not defined in the Yaml, more specifically in the datavect paragraph. One can examine debugging text files in $workdir`/obsoperator/ to get further information about expected inputs.

At this step, one has to include a flux plugin to fetch flux files for one’s model if not already available. Please consult the dedicated tutorial here to implement a new flux Plugin.

Therein, one should define a get_domain function to define the flux domain, as well as a list_dates in the function fetch. Make sure that the domain and dates in the flux plugin are consistent with the ones in the model mapper. If everything is consistent, pyCIF will not read the data and one should just link original files in native2inputs

Below is an example with fluxes generated using a basic formula. One can use it to check what steps are computed and what is provided to the function native2inputs:
