\label{loc:contenu}

All the elements of the LMD model are in the {\bf LMDZ.GENERIC} directory
(and subdirectories).
As explained in Section~\ref{loc:contact1}, this directory
should be associated with
 environment variable {\bf LMDGCM}:\\
If using Csh:
\begin{verbatim}
setenv  LMDGCM /where/you/put/the/model/LMDZ.GENERIC
\end{verbatim}
If using Bash:
\begin{verbatim}
export  LMDGCM=/where/you/put/the/model/LMDZ.GENERIC
\end{verbatim}

\noindent Here is a brief description of the
{\bf LMDZ.GENERIC} directory contents:
\begin{verbatim}
  libf/  All the model FORTRAN Sources (.F or .F90)
         and  include files (.h) organised in sub-directories
        (physics (phystd), dynamics (dyn3d), filters (filtrez)...)

  deftank/   A collection of examples of parameter files required
                to run the GCM (run.def, callphys.def, ...)

  makegcm  Script that should be used to compile the GCM as well
            as related utilities (newstart, start2archive, testphys1d)

  create_make_gcm   Executable used to create the makefile.
                    This command is run automatically by
                    "makegcm" (see below).

\end{verbatim}


\section{Organization of the model source files}
\index{Organization of the model source files}

The model source files are stored in various sub directories
in directory {\bf libf}.
These sub-directories correspond to the different parts of the model:

\begin{description}
\item{\bf grid:} mainly made up of "dimensions.h" file,
which contains the parameters that define the model grid,
i.e. the number of points in longitude (IIM), latitude (JJM) and altitude
(LLM), as well as the number of tracers (NQMX).

\item{\bf dyn3d:} contains the dynamical subroutines.

\item{\bf bibio:} contains some generic subroutines not specifically
related to physics or dynamics but used by either or both.

\item{\bf phymars:} contains the physics routines.

\item{\bf filtrez:} contains the longitudinal filter sources applied in the
upper latitudes,
where the Courant-Friedrich-Levy stability criterion is violated.

\end{description}

\section{Programming}

The model is written in {\bf Fortran-77} and {\bf Fortran-90}.
\begin{itemize}
\item The program sources are written in {\bf ``file.F"}
or {\bf ``file.F90''} files.
The extension .F is the standard extension for fixed-form Fortran and
the extension .F90 is for free-form Fortran.
These files must be preprocessed (by a{\bf C preprocessor}
such as (cpp)) before compilation (this behaviour is, for most
compilers, implicitly obtained but using a capital F in the extention
of the file names).

\item Constants are placed in COMMON declarations,
located in the common ``include'' files {\bf "file.h"}

%\item [also module files now too...]
\item In general, variables are passed from subroutine to subroutine
as arguments (and never as COMMON blocks).

\item In some parts of the code, for ``historical'' reasons,
the following rule is sometimes used: in the subroutine,
the variables (ex: \verb+name+) passed as an argument by the calling program
are given the prefix \verb+p+ (ex: \verb+pname+)
 while the local variables are given the prefix \verb+z+ (ex: \verb+zname+).
As a result, several variables change their prefix (and thus their name)
when passing from a calling subroutine to a called subroutine. We're trying to eliminate this as the code is developed.
\end{itemize}

\section{Compiling the model}
\index{Compiling the model}

\label{sc:compil1}
Technically, the model is compiled using the Unix utility {\tt make}.
The file {\tt makefile}, which describes the code dependencies
and requirements,
is created automatically by the script
\begin{verbatim}
create_make_gcm
\end{verbatim}
This utility script recreates the {\tt makefile} file when necessary,
for example, when a source file has been added or removed since the last
compilation.

{\bf None of this is visible to the user.
To compile the model just run the command}
\begin{verbatim}
makegcm
\end{verbatim}
with adequate options (e.g. {\tt makegcm -d 62x48x32 -p mars gcm}), as
discussed below and described in section~\ref{sc:run1}.


The {\tt makegcm} command compiles the model ({\bf gcm}) and related utilities
({\bf newstart}, {\bf start2archive}, {\bf testphys1d}).
A detailed description of how to use it and of the various parameters that
can be supplied
is given in the help manual below
(which will also be given by the \verb+makegcm -h+ command).\\
Note that before compiling the GCM with {\tt makegcm} you should have set
the environment variable {\bf LIBOGCM} to a path where intermediate
objects and libraries will be generated.\\
If using Csh:
\begin{verbatim}
setenv  LIBOGCM /where/you/want/objects/to/go/libo
\end{verbatim}
If using Bash:
\begin{verbatim}
export  LIBOGCM=/where/you/want/objects/to/go/libo
\end{verbatim}
