 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  |

  | 
 A good place to put the osse directory tree is in MITgcm/verification, | 
| 31 | 
  | 
 where examples and test examples of MITgcm configurations are kept. |
