3    OBSERVATION SYSTEM SIMULATION EXPERIMENT
4    
5    OSSE is an MITgcm configuration to simulate data assimilation with a
6    deterministic ensemble Kalman filter and a model of a rotating tank of
7    water with an ice bucket at the center.
8    
9    INSTALLATION
10    
11    At the time of this writing, the OSSE requires MITgcm checkpoint48 to
12    compile and run.  MITgcm can be obtained from
13    <http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html>.  If downloading from the CVS
14    server, use the command
15    
16    cvs co -r 'checkpoint48' MITgcm
17    
18    in order to specify the correct version.  Read the instructions on the
19    the webpage before trying to use the CVS server.
20    
21    The OSSE directory tree can be obtained from the MITgcm CVS repository
22    with the command
23    
24    cvs co MITgcm_contrib/osse
25    
26    The code and its revision history can be browsed at
27    
28    <http://dev.mitgcm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/MITgcm_contrib/osse/>
29    
30    A good place to put the osse directory tree is in MITgcm/verification,
31    where examples and test examples of MITgcm configurations are kept.
32    
33    CONTENTS
34    
35    code: modifications to MITgcm to run in cyclindrical coordinates.  At
36    the time of this writing, it requires checkpoint48 to compile and run.
37    
38    input: initialization and input files for MITgcm
39    
40    filter: source and data files to run the data assimilation and Kalman
41    filter.
42    
43    utils: assorted Matlab m-files
44    
45    EnKF: empty
46    
47    run: empty
48    
49    
50    COMPILING AND RUNNING THE MODEL
51    
52    The following series of commands creates the MITgcm executable.  
53    
54    From the MITgcm root:
55    
56    cd verification/osse/build  
57    ../../../tools/genmake -mods=../code  # creates makefile
58    make depend       # contructs Fortran code from model codebase
59    make              # makes executable mitgcmuv
60    
61    Try a test run, while redirecting the standard output to a file.  The
62    input directory contains files that should be present in the working
63    directory when you run mitgcmuv.  It is recommended that you copy the
64    input contents to a different directory for running -- mitgcmuv does
65    not change them, but they can be lost in the multitudes of output
66    files.
67    
68    The data assimilation code is made by typing ``make'' in the filter
69    directory, which creates an executable named osse.  
70    
71    Before running osse, the initial ensemble needs to be set up by
72    running the mkens script in verification/osse/da.  mkens creates the
73    directories, symbolically links files necessary to run the model, and
74    copies in the initial ensemble files.  osse should be run from the
75    directory verification/osse/da/inits since it expects the ensemble
76    members to be one directory above.  It also expects to have in its
77    working directory the file iobsloc-003.txt, which contains the
78    locations of the observations.  This file is located in
79    verification/osse/da/inits.
80    
81    
82    
 OSSE is a configuration to simulate running an deterministic  
 ensemble Kalman filter on a rotating tank with an ice bucket  
 at the center.    
83    
 code/ contains the modifications to MITgcm to run in cyclindrical  
 coordinates.  At the time of this writing, it requires  
 checkpoint48 to compile and run.  
84    
 EnKF/ contains the source and data files to run the Kalman filter.
