OpenIFS directory layout

The directory structure for the OpenIFS model and code depends on local installation requirements, number of users and so on. However, a recommended directory structure would have all source code and data organised under a single directory 'oifs'.  OpenIFS directory layoutIf desired, the grib_api and FCM software could also be installed under the oifs directory but it's recommended they are placed elsewhere.

Code Block
                     oifs                         Create a directory called 'oifs'. Unpack the ifsdata files and the source code in here.
                 /    |     \         \            \          \
             make     src    testrun    ifsdata     expt1     expt2   etc...
           /  |
     build    fcmcfg

The oifs38r1v1.0.tar.gz file will unpack into the subdirectories 'make', 'src', and 'testrun'.
