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. |

\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. } |

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}. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
%% In this chapter the schemes for parameterizing processes that are not |
| 73 |
%% represented explicitly in MITgcm are described. Some of these |
| 74 |
%% processes are sub-grid scale (SGS) phenomena, other processes, such as |
| 75 |
%% open-boundaries, are external to the simulation. |
