|
| 12 |
The full MITgcm distribution comes with a set of pre-configured numerical experiments. |
| 13 |
Some of these example experiments are tests of individual parts of the model code, but many |
| 14 |
are fully fledged numerical simulations. Full tutorials exist for a few of the examples, |
| 15 |
and are documented in sections \ref{sect:eg-baro} - \ref{sect:eg-tank}. The other examples |
| 16 |
follow the same general structure as the tutorial examples. However, they only include brief |
| 17 |
instructions in a text file called {\it README}. The examples are located in subdirectories |
| 18 |
under the directory \texttt{verification}. Each example is briefly described below. |

\subsection{Directory structure of model examples} |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
Each example directory has the following subdirectories: |
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
\begin{itemize} |
| 126 |
\item \texttt{code}: contains the code particular to the example. At a |
| 127 |
minimum, this directory includes the following files: |
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
\begin{itemize} |
| 130 |
\item \texttt{code/packages.conf}: declares the list of packages or |
| 131 |
package groups to be used. If not included, the default version |
| 132 |
is located in \texttt{pkg/pkg\_default}. Package groups are |
| 133 |
simply convenient collections of commonly used packages which are |
| 134 |
defined in \texttt{pkg/pkg\_default}. Some packages may require |
| 135 |
other packages or may require their absence (that is, they are |
| 136 |
incompatible) and these package dependencies are listed in |
| 137 |
\texttt{pkg/pkg\_depend}. |
| 138 |
|
| 139 |
\item \texttt{code/CPP\_EEOPTIONS.h}: declares CPP keys relative to |
| 140 |
the ``execution environment'' part of the code. The default |
| 141 |
version is located in \texttt{eesupp/inc}. |
| 142 |
|
| 143 |
\item \texttt{code/CPP\_OPTIONS.h}: declares CPP keys relative to |
| 144 |
the ``numerical model'' part of the code. The default version is |
| 145 |
located in \texttt{model/inc}. |
| 146 |
|
| 147 |
\item \texttt{code/SIZE.h}: declares size of underlying |
| 148 |
computational grid. The default version is located in |
| 149 |
\texttt{model/inc}. |
| 150 |
\end{itemize} |
| 151 |
|
| 152 |
In addition, other include files and subroutines might be present in |
| 153 |
\texttt{code} depending on the particular experiment. See Section 2 |
| 154 |
for more details. |
| 155 |
|
| 156 |
\item \texttt{input}: contains the input data files required to run |
| 157 |
the example. At a minimum, the \texttt{input} directory contains the |
| 158 |
following files: |
| 159 |
|
| 160 |
\begin{itemize} |
| 161 |
\item \texttt{input/data}: this file, written as a namelist, |
| 162 |
specifies the main parameters for the experiment. |
| 163 |
|
| 164 |
\item \texttt{input/data.pkg}: contains parameters relative to the |
| 165 |
packages used in the experiment. |
| 166 |
|
| 167 |
\item \texttt{input/eedata}: this file contains ``execution |
| 168 |
environment'' data. At present, this consists of a specification |
| 169 |
of the number of threads to use in $X$ and $Y$ under multithreaded |
| 170 |
execution. |
| 171 |
\end{itemize} |
| 172 |
|
| 173 |
In addition, you will also find in this directory the forcing and |
| 174 |
topography files as well as the files describing the initial state |
| 175 |
of the experiment. This varies from experiment to experiment. See |
| 176 |
section 2 for more details. |
| 177 |
|
| 178 |
\item \texttt{results}: this directory contains the output file |
| 179 |
\texttt{output.txt} produced by the simulation example. This file is |
| 180 |
useful for comparison with your own output when you run the |
| 181 |
experiment. |
| 182 |
\end{itemize} |
| 183 |
|
| 184 |
Once you have chosen the example you want to run, you are ready to |
| 185 |
compile the code. |
