    102102When executing the \ttt{runmeso} script, useful information about the simulation and the system in which you plan to run it are prompted, before an invitation appears about the choice of step(s) to process with:
    103103%
    104 \scriptsize
     104\footnotesize
    105105\codesource{runmeso_output}
    106106\normalsize
    … …  
    110110\item A first test of \ttt{runmeso} can be carried out with the test case of section~\ref{sc:arsia}. Please create a directory (e.g. \ttt{test}) and copy the files \ttt{namelist.input}, \ttt{callphys.def} and \ttt{namelist.wps} referring to this Arsia Mons test case in this directory. Then run \ttt{runmeso} and make choice~$1$, i.e. going through all steps detailed in \ref{steps} and \ref{zecommands}.
    111111\item The execution of \ttt{runmeso} stops if an error is encountered: e.g., the environment variable \ttt{MESO} is not defined, one of the two files~\ttt{namelist.input} or~\ttt{callphys.def} are not present in the working directory, etc...
    112 \item If \ttt{namelist.wps} is not present in the simulation directory, the \ttt{runmeso} script will propose to create it and will prompt $4$~additional questions about map projection, data source, latitude for center of domain, longitude for center of domain. The remaining information to be set in \ttt{namelist.wps} (cf. section~\ref{wps}) is then copied from \ttt{namelist.input} to ensure all common parameters between the two files are the same. The program \ttt{geogrid.exe} is then run and, if \ttt{ncview} is installed on your system, this program is prompted so that you can explore the file \ttt{geo\_em} file to check the created domain.
     112\item If \ttt{namelist.wps} is not present in the simulation directory, the \ttt{runmeso} script will propose to create it and will prompt $4$~additional questions about map projection, data source, latitude for center of domain, longitude for center of domain. The remaining information to be set in \ttt{namelist.wps} (cf. section~\ref{wps}) is then copied from \ttt{namelist.input} to ensure all common parameters between the two files are the same. The program \ttt{geogrid.exe} is then run and, if \ttt{ncview} is installed on your system, this program is prompted so that you can explore the file \ttt{geo\_em.d01.nc} file to check the created domain.
    113113\item An \ttt{xeyes} session is prompted when the \ttt{runmeso} script has finished processing required steps.
    114114\item If \ttt{runmeso} went well through steps~$1$ and~$2$, but encountered an error in~$3$, once the error has been corrected \ttt{runmeso} is not required to perform steps~$1$ and~$2$ again and can be started directly at step~$3$ (by typing~$3$, see possible choices above).
     115\item The \ttt{LMD:*} files created by a \ttt{runmeso} call which features step~$1$ are kept in \ttt{WPSFEED} (located in \ttt{\$MESO/TMPDIR}). Those files will be overwritten by subsequent calls to \ttt{runmeso} if you choose to run the GCM at similar dates.
     116\item The \ttt{met\_em*} files created by a \ttt{runmeso} call which features step~$2$ are kept in a directory in \ttt{WRFFEED} (located in \ttt{\$MESO/TMPDIR}) which name refers to precise date and time, so that it will not be overwritten by subsequent calls to \ttt{runmeso} for other simulations. In the simulation directory \ttt{runmeso} creates a \ttt{met\_em} directory which contains links towards the \ttt{met\_em*} files.
     117\item The contents of directories in \ttt{\$MESO/TMPDIR} (\ttt{GCMINI}, \ttt{WPSFEED}, \ttt{WRFFEED}) might grow large as you launch more and more simulations with \ttt{runmeso}. It is probably a good idea to clean up files referring to old simulations from time to time.

     75\item In the given example convective adjustment, gravity wave parameterization and NLTE schemes are turned off, as is usually the case in typical Martian tropospheric mesoscale simulations (see chapter~\ref{whatis}).
     76\item \ttt{iradia} sets the frequency (in dynamical timesteps) at which the radiative computations are performed. To obtain the interval in seconds at which radiative computations are performed, one simply has to multiply \ttt{iradia} to the value of \ttt{time\_step} in \ttt{namelist.input}.

    78 The LMD Martian GCM is supposed to be run to compute meteorological fields that will be used as initial and boundary conditions each one or two Martian hours to the limited-area LMD Martian Mesoscale Model. Hence the LMD Martian GCM must be compiled in your system (see the LMD-MGCM user manual for further details \url{http://web.lmd.jussieu.fr/~forget/datagcm/user_manual.pdf}). If you did not get the model using the \ttt{svn} method, please request us to send you an archive containing the LMD-MGCM named \ttt{LMDZ.MARS.meso.tar.gz}, which you have to extract in the \ttt{\$MESO} directory. If you got the model using \ttt{svn}, you do not have to request this file. In the \ttt{\$MESO/LMDZ.MARS} directory, a script named \ttt{compile} can be found and must be used \emph{on the system you plan to run the mesoscale model on} to compile the GCM. The \ttt{compile} script is actually just a wrapper for the \ttt{makegcm} script which compile the GCM for you; the default \ttt{makegcm} script only works with Portland Group Fortran compiler \ttt{pgf90} but scripts allowing to compile the model using other Fortran compilers (including \ttt{g95} or \ttt{ifort}) are available upon request. The following commands should yield the compilation of two executables \ttt{newstart.e} and \ttt{gcm.e}:

    50 \item In the Martian simulations, why can't I define boundaries each 6 hours as on Earth ?
    51 \item Help ! I get strange assembler errors or ILM errors while compiling !
    52 \item Is it possible to run the model on a specific configuration that is not supported ?
    53 \item Why do I have to define four less rows in the parent domain
    54 when performing nested runs ?
    55 \item I am kind of nostalgic of early/middle Mars. How could I run
    56 mesoscale simulations at low/high obliquity ?
    57 \item Why \ttt{real.exe} is crashing when the model top pressure is
    58 lower than $2$~Pa ?
    59 \item Can I use the two-way nesting ?
    60 \item How can I change smoothing surface properties ?
