Example: Labrador Sea Region with Sea-Ice |
2 |
========================================= |
3 |
|
4 |
This example sets up a small (20x16x23) Labrador Sea experiment |
5 |
coupled to a dynamic thermodynamic sea-ice model. |
6 |
A brief description of the sea-ice model is in "seaice.ps". |
7 |
|
8 |
The domain of integration spans 280E to 320E and 46N to 78N. |
9 |
Horizontal grid spacing is 2 degrees. |
10 |
The 23 vertical levels and the bathymetry file |
11 |
bathyFile = 'bathy.labsea' |
12 |
are obtained from the the 2-degree ECCO configuration. |
13 |
|
14 |
Integration is initialized from annual-mean Levitus climatology |
15 |
hydrogThetaFile = 'LevCli_temp.labsea' |
16 |
hydrogSaltFile = 'LevCli_salt.labsea' |
17 |
|
18 |
Surface salinity relaxation is to the monthly mean Levitus climatology |
19 |
saltClimFile = 'SSS.labsea' |
20 |
|
21 |
Forcing files are a 1979-1999 monthly climatology computed from the |
22 |
NCEP reanalysis (see pkg/seaice/SEAICE_FFIELDS.h for units and signs) |
23 |
gairxFile = 'u10m.labsea79' # 10-m zonal wind |
24 |
gairyFile = 'v10m.labsea79' # 10-m meridional wind |
25 |
tairFile = 'tair.labsea1979' # 2-m air temperature |
26 |
qaFile = 'qa.labsea1979' # 2-m specific humidity |
27 |
floFile = 'flo.labsea1979' # longwave radiation |
28 |
fshFile = 'fsh.labsea1979' # shortwave radiation |
29 |
rainFile = 'prate.labsea1979' # precipitation |
30 |
evapFile = 'evap.labsea1979' # evaporation |
31 |

Using testscript to test sea-ice code |
34 |
===================================== |
35 |
|
36 |
Running the testscript experiment: |
37 |
cd verification |
38 |
./testscript -force lab_sea |
39 |
|
40 |
Note that fairly large differences in accuracy occur across different |
41 |
platforms. For example, testscript comparisons between g77 (Linux) |
42 |
and f77 (SGI) generated output gives: |

Instructions for running Experiment 1 |
86 |
===================================== |
87 |
|
88 |
This is a 1-cpu, 10-hour integration used to make sure that all the |
89 |
files are available and that the model compiles and integrates. It |
90 |
is the default experiment of "verification/testscript lab_sea". |
91 |
|
92 |
To run Experiment 1: |
93 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/input |
94 |
ln -sf data.10hours data |
95 |
ln -sf data.seaice.adi data.seaice |
96 |
mitgcmuv_1 >&! output.txt |
97 |
mkdir exp1 |
98 |
mv *tave.0000000010.data exp1 |
99 |
|
100 |
Use matlab script lookat_exp1.m to compare the output |
101 |
of exp1 with that from release1_patch5 sea-ice code: |
102 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/matlab |
103 |
matlab |
104 |
lookat_exp1 |
105 |
|
106 |
|
107 |
Instructions for running Experiment 2 |
108 |
===================================== |
109 |
|
110 |
This is a 1-cpu test of the LSR solver. The solution is |
111 |
compared to that of experiment 1, which used the ADI solver. |
112 |
|
113 |
To run Experiment 2: |
114 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/input |
115 |
ln -sf data.10hours data |
116 |
ln -sf data.seaice.lsr data.seaice |
117 |
mitgcmuv_1 >&! output.txt |
118 |
mkdir exp2 |
119 |
mv *tave.0000000010.data exp2 |
120 |
|
121 |
Use matlab script lookat_exp2.m to compare |
122 |
the output of exp2 to that of exp1: |
123 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/matlab |
124 |
matlab |
125 |
lookat_exp2 |
126 |
|
127 |
|
128 |
Instructions for running Experiment 3 |
129 |
===================================== |
130 |
|
131 |
This is a test of periodic boundary conditions for LSR |
132 |
and ADI solvers. The domain has a flat bottom and |
133 |
is periodic both in the x and the y directions. |
134 |
All forcing files are null or constant (u10m = v10m = 5 m/s). |
135 |
|
136 |
To run Experiment 3: |
137 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/input |
138 |
ln -sf data.1hour data |
139 |
ln -sf data.seaice.testadi data.seaice |
140 |
mitgcmuv_1 >&! output.txt |
141 |
mkdir exp3a |
142 |
mv *tave.0000000001.data exp3a |
143 |
ln -sf data.seaice.testlsr data.seaice |
144 |
mitgcmuv_1 >&! output.txt |
145 |
mkdir exp3b |
146 |
mv *tave.0000000001.data exp3b |
147 |
|
148 |
Use matlab script lookat_exp3.m to compare |
149 |
the output of exp2 to that of exp1: |
150 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/matlab |
151 |
matlab |
152 |
lookat_exp3 |
153 |
|
154 |
If the dynamic ice solvers are correct, they should converge to a |
155 |
constant solution. The tests above show that both the ADI and the LSR |
156 |
solver are unable to handle periodic domains and therefore that they |
157 |
cannot be "correctly" parallelized. |
158 |
|
159 |
|
160 |
Instructions for running Experiment 4 |
161 |
===================================== |
162 |
|
163 |
This is a 2-cpu, 10-hour integration used to test |
164 |
tile edges for sea-ice dynamic solvers. |
165 |
|
166 |
To run Experiment 4: |
167 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/input |
168 |
ln -sf data.10hours data |
169 |
ln -sf data.seaice.adi data.seaice |
170 |
mpirun -np 2 mitgcmuv_2x1 |
171 |
mkdir exp4 |
172 |
mv *tave.0000000010.data exp4 |
173 |
|
174 |
Use the matlab script lookat_exp4.m to compare |
175 |
the 2-cpu output to that of exp1: |
176 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/matlab |
177 |
matlab |
178 |
lookat_exp4 |
179 |
|
180 |
The inaccuracy at the tile boundary can be decreased by increasing |
181 |
NPSEUDO in data.seaice at the expense of computation time. |
182 |
Also as sea-ice ages (thickens) the difference at the tiles becomes |
183 |
increasingly small. For solver pkg/seaice/adi.F a value of NPSEUDO=10 |
184 |
appears adequate for forward integrations but cannot be used for sea-ice |
185 |
adjoint model. Work is underway to fix this problem. |
186 |
|
187 |
|
188 |
Instructions for running Experiment 5 |
189 |
===================================== |
190 |
|
191 |
This is a 2-cpu, 2-year, test integration. It illustrates |
192 |
convention used by seaice_get_forcing.F for multi-year forcing. |
193 |
|
194 |
To run Experiment 5: |
195 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/input |
196 |
ln -sf data.2years data |
197 |
ln -sf data.seaice.adi data.seaice |
198 |

205 |

206 |
mpirun -np 2 mitgcmuv_2x1 |
207 |
|
208 |
Use the matlab script lookat_exp5.m to compare |
209 |
the 2-cpu output to SMMR-SSM/I data: |
210 |
cd ../../../verification/lab_sea/matlab |
211 |
matlab |
212 |
lookat_exp5 |
213 |
|
214 |
Disclaimer: |
215 |
The comparison here is just for fun, not really supposed |
216 |
to look anything like the data. |
217 |
Otherwise it would put a lot of people out of business :-) |
218 |
|
219 |

230 |
mkdir exp6 |
231 |
mv *tave.0000000010.data exp6 |

234 |
the output of exp6 to that of exp1: |
235 |
cd ../verification/lab_sea/matlab |
236 |
matlab |
237 |
lookat_exp6 |
238 |
|
239 |

===================================== |
241 |
|
