 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
 --------------------------------------------------------------- | 
  | 
 | 
 A) setup the experiments (incl. llc90 and cs32 core2.cnyf runs)  | 
  | 
 | 
 --------------------------------------------------------------- | 
  | 
 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
 0) get MITgcm as explained @ http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html | 
  | 
 | 
 1) the following assumes that you are in directory MITgcm/verification/ | 
  | 
 | 
    i.e., after checkout of the model repository, do: | 
  | 
 | 
       cd MITgcm/verification/ | 
  | 
 | 
    from here, get the MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/setup_these_exps.csh | 
  | 
 | 
    c-shell setup script e.g. by typing | 
  | 
 | 
       cvs co MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/setup_these_exps.csh | 
  | 
 | 
       mv MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/setup_these_exps.csh . | 
  | 
 | 
    Unless you already had something in MITgcm_contrib you may want  | 
  | 
 | 
    to remove that directory. Hereafter we wont need it anymore. | 
  | 
 | 
 2) execute the setup script by typing | 
  | 
 | 
       source ./setup_these_exps.csh | 
  | 
 | 
    A pre-requisite is that you are logged in to the MITgcm  | 
  | 
 | 
    cvs server. If you completed step1, you indeed already are. | 
  | 
 | 
    If otherwise, see http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html | 
  | 
 | 
 3) step2 creates a directory global_oce_tmp_download that  | 
  | 
 | 
    contains the experiments directories. Move them (incl.  | 
  | 
 | 
    global_oce_input_fields) to MITgcm/verification. Once you  | 
  | 
 | 
    have done this succesfully you may want to remove the empty | 
  | 
 | 
    global_oce_tmp_download directory. We wont need it anymore.  | 
  | 
 | 
 4) exectute MITgcm with testreport. Two examples from one machine. | 
  | 
 | 
    To run the cs32 test on one cpu : | 
  | 
 | 
        ./testreport -t global_oce_cs32 | 
  | 
 | 
    And to run the llc90 test on 24 cpus, using mpi | 
  | 
 | 
       ./testreport -of=../tools/build_options/linux_amd64_gfortran -MPI 24 -command 'mpirun -np TR_NPROC ./mitgcmuv' -t 'global_oce_cs32 global_oce_llc90' | 
  | 
 | 
    The optfile may be swaped for one that better suits your machine. | 
  | 
 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
 Notes: - when using mpi and netcdf, testreport expects two environment variables : | 
  | 
 | 
          export MPI_INC_DIR=/opt/local/include | 
  | 
 | 
          export NETCDF_ROOT=/opt/local | 
  | 
 | 
          or something similar depending on your computing environment | 
  | 
 | 
        - whether with testreport or not mpi and netcdf libraries are a pre-requisite | 
  | 
 | 
 5) upon completion of the experiments, testreport should return something like | 
  | 
 | 
     Y Y Y Y>16<16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16  .  . pass  global_oce_cs32 | 
  | 
 | 
     Y Y Y Y> 7<16 16 12 12 16 16 13 11 13 12 10 11 13 13 11 11  .  . FAIL  global_oce_llc90 | 
  | 
 | 
     Y Y Y Y>10<16 13 12 12 13 16 14 11 13 13 11 11 13 13 11 11  .  . pass  global_oce_llc90.core2 | 
  | 
 | 
     Y Y Y Y> 4<13 11  9  9 12 16 11  9 10 12 10 10 11 10  8 10  .  . FAIL  global_oce_llc90.ecco_v4 | 
  | 
 | 
     Y Y Y Y> 7<10 11 12 11 12 11 13 10 10 12 11 11 12 11 11 10  .  . FAIL  global_oce_llc90.ecmwf | 
  | 
 | 
    implying that the main experiment ran as expected in global_oce_llc90/run. | 
  | 
 | 
  |

  | 
 | 
 B) in case you want to change stuff on your end, or for troubleshooting | 
  | 
 | 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
  | 
 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
 1) In linking the experiments to one another we rely on 'build/genmake_local' and  | 
  | 
 | 
 'input*/prepare_run' which may be worth a special mention, at least to new MITgcm users. | 
  | 
 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
   1.1) most importantly : if you remove these files, the exps wont run or even compile. | 
  | 
 | 
   1.2) build/genmake_local specifies the use of xmakedepend (since the default  | 
  | 
 | 
        cant handle so many files) and in global_oce_cs32 it points to  | 
  | 
 | 
        "../../global_oce_llc90/code/" If you move global_oce_llc90 away from  | 
  | 
 | 
        global_oce_cs32 you will need to edit that path in genmake_local. | 
  | 
 | 
   1.3) in analogy input*/prepare_run are a set of instructions that "testreport" | 
  | 
 | 
        will execute before running MITgcm, to link all of the proper inputs.  | 
  | 
 | 
        And again the experiments form a self-consistent group, such that | 
  | 
 | 
        e.g. global_oce_cs32 will get shared files from global_oce_llc90. If you move | 
  | 
 | 
        the directories appart, you will need to edit the paths in input*/prepare_run | 
  | 
 | 
   1.4) the logic we followed in linking exps to one another : | 
  | 
 | 
            - forward subexperiments : get input.xxx/namelists then run input/prepare_run | 
  | 
 | 
            - adjoint subexperiments : get input_ad.xxx/namelists then run corresponding forward  | 
  | 
 | 
            subexperiment input.xxx/prepare_run (that itself ultimately runs input/prepare_run) | 
  | 
 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
 2) In a couple .h files (that you find in the build directory after compiling) | 
  | 
 | 
    small size parameters are used as a default (to save memory of course) | 
  | 
 | 
    and they can become limiting in certain cases : | 
  | 
 | 
    - you may want to integrate the model beyond a few time steps. You will need to  | 
  | 
 | 
      increase nchklev_1/_2/_3 in tamc.h (e.g. use the values in tamc.h_itXX) and recompile. | 
  | 
 | 
    - you may want to use pkg/profiles (i.e. process insitu data via data.profiles).  | 
  | 
 | 
      You will need to increase NOBSGLOB in PROFILES_SIZE.h (e.g. use PROFILES_SIZE.h_itXX), and recompile. | 
  | 
 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
 3) To run the adjoint subexperiments you need the taf/tamc software/license. |
