| 1 | >> GENERAL INFORMATION |
|---|
| 2 | This directory contains examples of "def" files that are inputs for GCM runs, |
|---|
| 3 | along with sample scripts to run the model (in serial, on a Linux system). |
|---|
| 4 | Subdirectories ciclad, occigen, etc. contain scripts specific to these |
|---|
| 5 | machines and their job schedulers; check the README there. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | >> DEF FILES |
|---|
| 8 | To run the GCM needs (see documentation) "run.def", "callphys.def", |
|---|
| 9 | "traceur.def" and "z2sig.def" input files. |
|---|
| 10 | Files stored here are suffixed for different "GCM configurations" |
|---|
| 11 | (e.g. *.def.watercycle to run simulations with the dust and water |
|---|
| 12 | cycles); rename (and adapt) them for your usage. |
|---|
| 13 | Miscelaneous comments: |
|---|
| 14 | - run.def.1d is an example specific for the 1D testphys1d model |
|---|
| 15 | - run.def.lonxlatxalt illustrate cases for different spatial grids |
|---|
| 16 | (typically the GCM is run at 64x48 horizontal resolution) |
|---|
| 17 | - z2sig.def is the current standard vertical grid definition (use 54 layers |
|---|
| 18 | if running up to ~120km, e.g. water & dust cycle simulations, 73 layers |
|---|
| 19 | if including chemistry and thermosphere up to ~300km) |
|---|
| 20 | - *.GCM5 files correspond to GCM5 version using z2sig.def.MCD5 |
|---|
| 21 | up to ~120km (32 levels) or ~300km (49 levels) |
|---|
| 22 | - *.MCD5 files correspond to what was used to generate MCDv5.x simulations |
|---|
| 23 | - *.GCM6 files correspond to GCM6 version with improved dust and water cycles |
|---|
| 24 | up to ~120km (54 levels) |
|---|
| 25 | - *.MCD6 files correspond to what was used to generate MCDv6.1 simulations |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | >> XML FILES |
|---|
| 28 | These are required when running with the XIOS library |
|---|
| 29 | - iodef.xml : general settings |
|---|
| 30 | - context_lmdz_physics.xml : definition of variables, grids, output files, etc. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | >> SCRIPTS |
|---|
| 33 | - "run0" is a script to run (once or nummax times) chained simulations |
|---|
| 34 | - "run_mcd" is a script that uses "run0" and runs simulations taking |
|---|
| 35 | into account the change of number of sols every Martian month. |
