9 cnh 1.34 In this chapter and in the following chapter, the MITgcm ``packages'' are
10     described. While you can carry out many experiments with MITgcm by starting
11     from case studies in section \ref{sect:tutorials}, configuring
12     a brand new experiment or making major changes to an experimental configuration
13     requires some knowledge of the {\it packages}
14     that make up the full MITgcm code. Packages are used in MITgcm to
15     help organize and layer various code building blocks that are assembled
16     and selected to perform a specific experiment. Each of the specific experiments
17     described in section \ref{sect:tutorials} uses a particular combination
18     of packages.
19     Figure \ref{fig:package_organigramme} shows the full set of packages that
20     are available. As shown in the figure packages are classified into different
21     groupings that layer on top of each other. The top layer packages are
22     generally specialized to specific simulation types. In this layer there are
23     packages that deal with biogeochemical processes, ocean interior
24     and boundary layer processes, atmospheric processes, sea-ice, coupled
25     simulations and state estimation.
26     Below this layer are a set of general purpose
27     numerical and computational packages. The general purpose numerical packages
28     provide code for kernel numerical alogorithms
29     that apply to
30     many different simulation types. Similarly, the general purpose computational
31     packages implement non-numerical alogorithms that provide parallelism,
32     I/O and time-keeping functions that are used in many different scenarios.

43     \caption{ Hierarchy of code layers that are assembled to make up an MITgcm
44     simulation. Conceptually (and in terms of code organization) MITgcm consists
45     of several layers. At the base is a layer of core software that provides a
46     basic numerical and computational foundation for MITgcm simulations. This
47     layer is shown marked {\bf Foundation Code} at the bottom of the figure
48     and corresponds to code in the italicised subdirectories on the figure.
49     This layer is not organized into packages. All code above the foundation layer
50     is organized as packages. Much of the code in MITgcm is contained in packages
51     which serve as a useful way of organizing and layering the different levels of
52     functionality that make up the full MITgcm software distribution.
53     The figure shows the different packages in MITgcm as boxes containing bold
54     face upper case names. Directly above the foundation layer are two layers of
55     general purpose infrastructure software that consist of computational and
56     numerical packages. These general purpose packages can be applied to both
57     online and offline simulations and are used in many different physical
58     simulation types. Above these layers are more specialized packages. }

60    
61     The following sections describe the packages shown in
62     figure \ref{fig:package_organiigramme}. The sections
63     layout the algorithms implemented in each package
64     and describe how to use the package. A synopsis of the function
65     of each package is given in table \ref{tab:package_summary_tab}.
66     Organizationally package code is assigned a
67     separate subdirectory in the MITgcm code distribution
68     (within the source code directory \texttt{pkg}).
69     The name of this subdirectory is used as the package name in
70     table \ref{tab:package_summary_tab}.

74     %% processes are sub-grid scale (SGS) phenomena, other processes, such as
