Preparing Initial Files to Upload

The upload of initial files is made from the OpenIFS@Home Dashboard on the OpenIFS@Home portal. It expects the initial files to be laid out in a particular directory structure.

There are 3 types of permitted directory structures as illustrated in the diagram left. They correspond to whether multiple dates are present, and whether ensembles of initial data are being used.

(a) Single date.

In this case the directory structure would be as following:

% ls -R hijc     #  "hha4" is the experiment id in this example
hijc/2017041212:
ICMCLhijcINIT   ICMSHhijcINIT    specwavein         wam_subgrid_0
ICMGGhijcINIT   cdwavein         uwavein            wam_subgrid_1
ICMGGhijcINIUA  sfcwindin        wam_grid_tables    wam_subgrid_2
