|
1. cd to your MITgcm central directory and check out the code and (some of the) required |
| 7 |
|
|
input files |
| 8 |
|
|
a. cvs co -d cs_36km_tutorial MITgcm_contrib/arctic/cs_36km/ |
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
2. cd to this new directory and make a ‘build’ directory |
| 11 |
|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
3. Personally I recommend outputting NetCDF files. You will need to do the following if you |
| 13 |
|
|
want to do this |
| 14 |
|
|
a. add a line with “mnc” on it to cs_36km_tutorial/code/packages.conf |
| 15 |
|
|
b. add a line with “useMNC=.TRUE.,” to cs_36km_tutorial/input/data.pkg |
| 16 |
|
|
c. add a “data.mnc” file which you can copy from the input directory of any of the |
| 17 |
|
|
verification experiments that use NetCDF output |
| 18 |
|
|
|
| 19 |
|
|
4. Compile in the usual way (system dependent) |
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
5. The following files are all required in the run directory |
| 22 |
|
|
a. the executable you get when compiling “mitgcmuv” |
| 23 |
|
|
b. http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data2/data/runoff/runoff-360x180x12.bin |
| 24 |
|
|
c. http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data2/data/atmos/jra25/*1979* |
| 25 |
|
|
i. note that the following files may need their “.txt” suffixes removed |
| 26 |
|
|
1. jra25_v10m_1979 |
| 27 |
|
|
2. jra25_u10m_1979 |
| 28 |
|
|
3. jra25_spfh2m_1979 |
| 29 |
|
|
4. jra25_temp2m_1979 |
| 30 |
|
|
d. Also, the run requires the following files which are not included in the |
| 31 |
|
|
http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data2/data/atmos/jra25/ directory (I have simply created |
| 32 |
|
|
cymbolic links to the 1979 equivalents). |
| 33 |
|
|
i. jra25_dlw_1978 |
| 34 |
|
|
ii. jra25_dsw_1978 |
| 35 |
|
|
iii. jra25_rain_1978 |
| 36 |
|
|
e. http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data1/arctic/run_template2/* |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
6. There are some duplicate file names in |
| 39 |
|
|
http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data1/arctic/run_template2/ and cs_36km_tutorial/input and it is |
| 40 |
|
|
crucial that those in the latter are used. I have done this by copying them to my run |
| 41 |
|
|
directory (platform dependent) second to automatically overwrite the other ones. |
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
7. The model also requires several files which need to be renamed and so I have created |
| 44 |
|
|
symbolic links to them. |

8. I suggest changing the following in the “data” file just to get you going |
| 65 |
|
|
a. endtime=86400., |
| 66 |
|
|
i. i.e. 1 day in seconds |
| 67 |
|
|
b. dumpFreq = 2400., |
| 68 |
|
|
i. i.e. outputting data on every timestep, i.e. every 40 minutes in |
| 69 |
|
|
seconds |
| 70 |
|
|
|
| 71 |
|
|
9. Submit the job (platform dependent) |
| 72 |
|
|
|
| 73 |
|
|
10. Note that the NetCDF output from this simulation will consist of one file for each processor |
| 74 |
|
|
(80 by default here, nPx × nPy in the cs_36km_tutorial/code/SIZE.h file). |

Getting this simulation to run would not have been possible without Fanny Monteiro in the author’s |

home institution, members of the MITgcm-support online community and in particular, Dimitris |

Menemenlis, Renske Gelderloos and Patrick Heimbach. |
