tc_analysis — Tropical Cyclone Analysis

The tc_analysis task performs tropical cyclone (TC) analysis on E3SM output. It uses high-frequency atmospheric data (typically eam.h2) to detect and track TCs.

Parameters

This parameter is specific to the tc_analysis task:

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
res	No	""	Resolution string for the --res option. If not set, zppy attempts to infer it from the topography file.

Parameters at the top-level

This parameter has a tc_analysis-specific default, which means even if it is set at the top level ([default]) section, the default value will be used instead. Therefore, to specify a custom value, this parameter must be defined inside [tc_analysis]:

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
input_files	No	"eam.h2"	Input history file pattern. Overrides the [default] value (eam.h0).

For other top-level parameters, see top-level parameters.

Dependencies

Upstream (what tc_analysis depends on):

• None.

Downstream (what depends on tc_analysis):

• e3sm_diags — E3SM Diagnostics — Required for tc_analysis set.
