\subsubsection{Introduction |
| 10 |
\label{sec:pkg:exf:intro}} |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The external forcing package, in conjunction with the |
| 13 |
calendar package (cal), enables the handling of real-time |
| 14 |
(or ``model-time'') forcing |
| 15 |
fields of differing temporal forcing patterns. |
| 16 |
It comprises climatological restoring and relaxation. |
| 17 |
Bulk formulae are implemented to convert atmospheric fields |
| 18 |
to surface fluxes. |
| 19 |
An interpolation routine provides on-the-fly interpolation of |
| 20 |
forcing fields an arbitrary grid onto the model grid. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
CPP options enable or disable different aspects of the package |
| 23 |
(Section \ref{sec:pkg:exf:config}). |
| 24 |
Runtime options, flags, filenames and field-related dates/times are |
| 25 |
set in \texttt{data.exf} |
| 26 |
(Section \ref{sec:pkg:exf:runtime}). |
| 27 |
A description of key subroutines is given in Section |
| 28 |
\ref{sec:pkg:exf:subroutines}. |
| 29 |
Input fields, units and sign conventions are summarized in |
| 30 |
Section \ref{sec:pkg:exf:fields_units}, and available diagnostics |
| 31 |
output is listed in Section \ref{sec:pkg:exf:diagnostics}. |

\subsubsection{EXF configuration, compiling \& running} |

\paragraph{Compile-time options |

\label{sec:pkg:exf:config}} |

~ |

|
| 41 |
As with all MITgcm packages, EXF can be turned on or off at compile time |
| 42 |
% |
| 43 |
\begin{itemize} |
| 44 |
% |
| 45 |
\item |
| 46 |
using the \texttt{packages.conf} file by adding \texttt{exf} to it, |
| 47 |
% |
| 48 |
\item |
| 49 |
or using \texttt{genmake2} adding |
| 50 |
\texttt{-enable=exf} or \texttt{-disable=exf} switches |
| 51 |
% |
| 52 |
\item |
| 53 |
\textit{required packages and CPP options}: \\ |
| 54 |
EXF requires the calendar package \texttt{cal} to be enabled; |
| 55 |
no additional CPP options are required. |
| 56 |
% |
| 57 |
\end{itemize} |
| 58 |
(see Section \ref{sec:buildingCode}). |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Parts of the EXF code can be enabled or disabled at compile time |
| 61 |
via CPP preprocessor flags. These options are set in either |
| 62 |
\texttt{EXF\_OPTIONS.h} or in \texttt{ECCO\_CPPOPTIONS.h}. |
| 63 |
Table \ref{tab:pkg:exf:cpp} summarizes these options. |

\subsubsection{Run-time parameters |
| 108 |
\label{sec:pkg:exf:runtime}} |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
Run-time parameters are set in files |
| 111 |
\texttt{data.pkg}, \texttt{data.exf}, and |
| 112 |
\texttt{data.exf\_clim} (for relaxation/climatological fields) |
| 113 |
which are read in \texttt{exf\_readparms.F}. |
| 114 |
Run-time parameters may be broken into 3 categories: |
| 115 |
(i) switching on/off the package at runtime, |
| 116 |
(ii) general flags and parameters, and |
| 117 |
(iii) attributes for each forcing and climatological field. |

A package is switched on/off at runtime by setting |
| 123 |

The following block is taken from the \texttt{data.exf} file |
| 299 |
of the verification experiment \texttt{global\_with\_exf/}. |
| 300 |
It defines attributes for the heat flux variable \texttt{hflux}: |
| 301 |
|
| 302 |
\begin{verbatim} |
| 303 |
hfluxfile = 'ncep_qnet.bin', |
| 304 |
hfluxstartdate1 = 19920101, |
| 305 |
hfluxstartdate2 = 000000, |
| 306 |
hfluxperiod = 2592000.0, |
| 307 |
hflux_lon0 = 2 |
| 308 |
hflux_lon_inc = 4 |
| 309 |
hflux_lat0 = -78 |
| 310 |
hflux_lat_inc = 39*4 |
| 311 |
hflux_nlon = 90 |
| 312 |
hflux_nlat = 40 |
| 313 |
\end{verbatim} |
| 314 |
|
| 315 |
EXF will read a file of name 'ncep\_qnet.bin'. |
| 316 |
Its first record represents January 1st, 1992 at 00:00 UTC. |
| 317 |
Next record is 2592000 seconds (or 30 days) later. |
| 318 |
Note that the first record read and used by the EXF package corresponds to the |
| 319 |
value 'startDate1' set in data.cal. Therefore if you want to start the EXF |
| 320 |
forcing from later in the 'ncep\_qnet.bin' file, it suffices to specify |
| 321 |
startDate1 in data.cal as a date later than 19920101 (for example, startDate1 |
| 322 |
= 19940101, for starting January 1st, 1994). For this to work, |
| 323 |
'ncep\_qnet.bin' must have at least 2 years of data because in this |
| 324 |
configuration EXF will read 2 years into the file to find the 1994 starting |
| 325 |
value. |
| 326 |
Interpolation on-the-fly is used (in the present case trivially |
| 327 |
on the same grid, but included nevertheless for illustration), |
| 328 |
and input field grid starting coordinates and increments are |
| 329 |
supplied as well. |
