No flux file for the second member with ENDA ERA5 data

[tcarion]

Hello,

I tried to retrieve ensemble ERA5 data for 2020/01/01. The control file that I used is attached. The Flexpart input files are correctly created for the first member (EN200101*.N000). But for the second member, I get an error :
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/era5_compare/EXTRACTIONS_DEV/era5_20200101_ensembles/input/flux2020010100.N001'

Indeed, the flux2020010100.N001 file is not produced, as you can see in the attached listoffiles.txt which gives the list of the files in the processing directory when the error arises. You can also observe that strange flux files are produced (e.g. flux2018123118.N000).

The attached file submit_out.log show the entire output from the flex_extract process.

I'm using the dev branch of flex_extract.

Dear tcarion,

thank you for reaching out to us.
Unfortunately, flex_extractv7.1.2 was not build to retrieve ERA5 ensemble members yet.
I see an increase in requests to be able to do this and since I am already working on a new version, I'll work on including this feature in the next release.
However, I can't make any promises for a release date. If you want to keep up-to-date please subscribe to the mailing list where I will announce future releases.

Best regards,
Anne

Dear Anne,

I'm surprised to see that flex_extract v7.1.2 is not supposed to retrieve ERA5 ensembles, because sometimes it works fine (e.g. with the two control files I attached: CONTROL_EA5_20180809 and CONTROL_EA5_20200103).
Anyway, thank you for working on it, I'm looking forward to the next version!

FYI, I'm working on a package written in the Julia language that interfaces both flex_extract and Flexpart. I need to still work on it and write some doc, but I will try to make it public in the next months.

Kind regards,

Tristan Carion
