The full MITgcm distribution comes with a set of pre-configured |
| 13 |
|
|
numerical experiments. Some of these example experiments are tests of |
| 14 |
|
|
individual parts of the model code, but many are fully fledged |
| 15 |
|
|
numerical simulations. Full tutorials exist for a few of the examples, |
| 16 |
|
|
and are documented in sections \ref{sect:eg-baro} - |
| 17 |
|
|
\ref{sect:eg-tank}. The other examples follow the same general |
| 18 |
|
|
structure as the tutorial examples. However, they only include brief |
| 19 |
|
|
instructions in a text file called {\it README}. The examples are |
| 20 |
|
|
located in subdirectories under the directory \texttt{verification}. |
| 21 |
|
|
Each example is briefly described below. |

\subsection{Directory structure of model examples} |
| 198 |
|
|
|
| 199 |
|
|
Each example directory has the following subdirectories: |
| 200 |
|
|
|
| 201 |
|
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 202 |
|
|
\item \texttt{code}: contains the code particular to the example. At a |
| 203 |
|
|
minimum, this directory includes the following files: |
| 204 |
|
|
|
| 205 |
|
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 206 |
|
|
\item \texttt{code/packages.conf}: declares the list of packages or |
| 207 |
|
|
package groups to be used. If not included, the default version |
| 208 |
|
|
is located in \texttt{pkg/pkg\_default}. Package groups are |
| 209 |
|
|
simply convenient collections of commonly used packages which are |
| 210 |
|
|
defined in \texttt{pkg/pkg\_default}. Some packages may require |
| 211 |
|
|
other packages or may require their absence (that is, they are |
| 212 |
|
|
incompatible) and these package dependencies are listed in |
| 213 |
|
|
\texttt{pkg/pkg\_depend}. |
| 214 |
|
|
|
| 215 |
|
|
\item \texttt{code/CPP\_EEOPTIONS.h}: declares CPP keys relative to |
| 216 |
|
|
the ``execution environment'' part of the code. The default |
| 217 |
|
|
version is located in \texttt{eesupp/inc}. |
| 218 |
|
|
|
| 219 |
|
|
\item \texttt{code/CPP\_OPTIONS.h}: declares CPP keys relative to |
| 220 |
|
|
the ``numerical model'' part of the code. The default version is |
| 221 |
|
|
located in \texttt{model/inc}. |
| 222 |
|
|
|
| 223 |
|
|
\item \texttt{code/SIZE.h}: declares size of underlying |
| 224 |
|
|
computational grid. The default version is located in |
| 225 |
|
|
\texttt{model/inc}. |
| 226 |
|
|
\end{itemize} |
| 227 |
|
|
|
| 228 |
|
|
In addition, other include files and subroutines might be present in |
| 229 |
|
|
\texttt{code} depending on the particular experiment. See Section 2 |
| 230 |
|
|
for more details. |
| 231 |
|
|
|
| 232 |
|
|
\item \texttt{input}: contains the input data files required to run |
| 233 |
|
|
the example. At a minimum, the \texttt{input} directory contains the |
| 234 |
|
|
following files: |
| 235 |
|
|
|
| 236 |
|
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 237 |
|
|
\item \texttt{input/data}: this file, written as a namelist, |
| 238 |
|
|
specifies the main parameters for the experiment. |
| 239 |
|
|
|
| 240 |
|
|
\item \texttt{input/data.pkg}: contains parameters relative to the |
| 241 |
|
|
packages used in the experiment. |
| 242 |
|
|
|
| 243 |
|
|
\item \texttt{input/eedata}: this file contains ``execution |
| 244 |
|
|
environment'' data. At present, this consists of a specification |
| 245 |
|
|
of the number of threads to use in $X$ and $Y$ under multithreaded |
| 246 |
|
|
execution. |
| 247 |
|
|
\end{itemize} |
| 248 |
|
|
|
| 249 |
|
|
In addition, you will also find in this directory the forcing and |
| 250 |
|
|
topography files as well as the files describing the initial state |
| 251 |
|
|
of the experiment. This varies from experiment to experiment. See |
| 252 |
molod |
1.14 |
the verification directories refered to in this chapter for more details. |
| 253 |
molod |
1.11 |
|
| 254 |
|
|
\item \texttt{results}: this directory contains the output file |
| 255 |
|
|
\texttt{output.txt} produced by the simulation example. This file is |
| 256 |
|
|
useful for comparison with your own output when you run the |
| 257 |
|
|
experiment. |
| 258 |
molod |
1.14 |
|
| 259 |
|
|
\item \texttt{build}: this directory is where the model is compiled |
| 260 |
|
|
and loaded, and where the executable resides. |
| 261 |
|
|
|
| 262 |

1.11 |
\end{itemize} |
| 263 |
|
|
|
| 264 |
|
|
Once you have chosen the example you want to run, you are ready to |
| 265 |
|
|
compile the code. |
