40Please refer to the report "Design and Performance of the LMD Martian Mesoscale Model"
41
42------------------------------
43   Installation of the model
44------------------------------
45
461. copy the LMD Martian Mesoscale sources on a disk with 400 Mo of free space
47> cp LMD_MM_MARS.tar.gz ***my_disk***
48
492. unzip the archive file, download WRF sources and prepare directories and files for compilation
50**** REQUIREMENTS:
51**** - you must be connected to the internet
52> tar xzvf LMD_MM_MARS.tar.gz
53> cd LMD_MM_MARS
54> ./prepare
55
563. compile the model
57**** REQUIREMENTS:
58**** - you must have either pgf90 or g95 installed in your computer
59**** - you must have compiled NETCDF libraries and define the environment variable $NETCDF
60> ./makemeso
61
62------------------------------
63   Structure of the model
64------------------------------
65SIMU            >> contains a test case and several useful scripts
66SRC             >> contains sources of the model, the pre- and post-processing utilities
67WPS_GEOG        >> contains static data (topography, albedo, thermal inertia)
68build_static    >> a script to build a minimal dataset for initialization of static data
69copy_model      >> a script to link the model sources and avoid duplicates
70makemeso        >> the main compilation script
71prepare         >> a script to run right after you deflated the .tar.gz file
72
73SRC/ARWpost                     >> post-processing utilities (maps, etc ...)
74SRC/INIT_SIMPLE_TEST.tar.gz     >> a simple idealized case study
75SRC/PREP_MARS                   >> pre-processing utilities : convert GCM outputs
76SRC/WPS                         >> the main pre-processing system : define domain and interpolate meteorological and static data
77SRC/WRFV2                       >> the folder containing WRF sources and LMD physics sources
78SRC/datesave                    >> a reminder of the version you use
79SRC/g95.tar.gz                  >> fix for some problems that may appear with g95
80SRC/mac.tar.gz                  >> scripts and fixes to run the model on MACs
81SRC/save_all                    >> a script to save the sources and create a .tar.gz archive
82SRC/saved                       >> a reminder of the files in the version you use
83
84------------------------------
85       Run a test case
86------------------------------
87
881. edit the file ./SRC/WRFV2/meso_datafile.h to change the datafile path
89
902. compile the model with g95 with specific number of grid points
91> ./makemeso < SIMU/TESTCASE/makemeso_x51_y51_z61_d1_t1_p1   (an example with g95)
92
933. link the executable
94> cd SIMU/TESTCASE
95> ln -sf ../../g95_??_single/wrf_x51_y51_z61_d1_t1_p1.exe wrf.exe
96
974. extract the pre-generated initial and boundary conditions
98> tar xzvf wrfinput.tar.gz
99
1005. run the simulation
101> nohup wrf.exe > log_wrf &
102
1036. check the model behavior during the run
104> vi log_wrf           (check model's messages during the run)
105> ./elapsed            (a script to evaluate elapsed simulation time)
106
107The model results are in the 'wrfout_d01_2024-07-01_06:00:00' NETCDF file
108
109NB:
110- simulation settings can be changed in namelist.input
111- physics settings can be changed in callphys.def
112
113------------------------------
114  Installation of utilities
115------------------------------
116
1174. download and build static data (topography, albedo, thermal inertia)
118**** REQUIREMENTS:
119**** - you must be connected to the internet
120> ./build_static
