1Making initial condition files for icosa_lmdz.exe from
2an LMDZ start_archive.nc file
3
4What you need to do/know before:
5---------------------------
6Run a dynamico simulation (with startphy_file=false for example) with the desired resolution to get
7start.nc and startfi.nc. These files will be used as reference (rename as *_ref.nc) in the script.
8
9Job_mpi is the file you need to run start_archive2icosa on Occigen
10
11Warning: the input start_archive.nc file must include SSO parameters in this version, which is only available with a modified start2archive: start2archive_SSO
12
13This script is currently under development and still needs to be finalized.
14So you must be careful to adapt the script to your own needs and replace hardcoded variables.
15Any suggestion for improvement is welcome.
16
17In a nutshell:
18--------------
191) input file start_archive.nc needs some minor adaptations:
20- variable "nivsigs" needs be renamed "sigs" (XIOS requires CF-compliant files)
21ncrename -vnivsigs,sigs start_archive.nc
22- input file start_archive.nc need be converted to NetCDF4 format
23nccopy -k 'netCDF-4' start_archive.nc start_archive_nc4.nc
242) script "compile" can be used to compile main tool start_archive2icosa.f90
25   as well as rearrange_startphy.f90
263) to run, start_archive2icosa needs input files:
27- "start_archive_nc4.nc" : from step 1
28- "start_icosa_ref.nc" : a start.nc file from an icosa_lmdz.exe run (contains
29  all the necessary information about the icosaedral grid at that resolution)
30- "startphy_icosa_ref.nc" : a startfi.nc file from an icosa_lmdz.exe run (contains
31  all the necessary information about colums from physics)
32- "surface_nc4.nc" : Mars topography file (also needs to be in NetCDF4 format)
33- "iodef.xml" : information about field names and grids for XIOS
34NB: interpolation of HR topography requires lots of memory; see e.g. job_mpi
35job script where 2 nodes (56 cores) are requested but only 28 processes
36are run.
374) start_archive2icosa outputs files "start_icosa_prefinalize.nc" and "startfi_prefinalize.nc"
38  require a couple of extra modifications. Script "icosa_finalize.bash" does
39  the required changes and generates files "start_icosa.nc" and "startfi.nc" that
40  can be used as inputs by icosa_lmdz.exe
415) When using these start one must add in run_icosa.def the extra flag
42etat0_start_file_colocated = true

44Additional comments:
45--------------------
46- script "compile" assumes XIOS is to be found in "/scratch/cnt0027/lmd1167/adelavois/models/code/XIOS"
47  to be adapted to your own settings
48- "nccopy" is a standard netcdf tool available via e.g.:
49module load intel/17.0 intelmpi/2017.0.098 hdf5/1.8.17 netcdf/4.4.0_fortran-4.4.2
50- "nco" tools (ncrename, ncks, ...) are available via e.g.:
51module load intel/17.0 openmpi/intel/2.0.1 hdf5/1.8.17 netcdf/4.4.0_fortran-4.4.2 nco/4.4.6
52- in start_archive2icosa.f90, rearrange_startphy.f90, iodef.xml and
53  icosa_finalize.bash input/output file names are hard-coded.
54  Modify/adapt with caution!
