polaris.tasks.e3sm.init.component_inputs.names.base_mesh_path

polaris.tasks.e3sm.init.component_inputs.names.base_mesh_path(short_name: str, creation_date: str) → str[source]

Where the base mesh, carrying the base-to-culled index maps, is staged.

Under share/meshes/mpas/unified/<id>/ rather than Compass’ share/meshes/mpas/ocean/: for a unified mesh the base mesh belongs to the ocean, sea-ice, land and river components equally, and filing it under the ocean would misdescribe it. The per-mesh subdirectory keeps one mesh’s files together – see _mesh_dir().

Parameters:

short_name (str) – The E3SM short name of the mesh.
creation_date (str) – The creation date, as YYYYMMDD.

Returns:

str – The path, relative to ASSEMBLED_FILES.
