Download data files

The data directory contains the following gzipped tarfiles, all of which should be downloaded.

Info

These files are the same for all OpenIFS experiments. To save space for multiple users, it's recommended they are placed somewhere central and not copied to each user run directory. The sample job scripts provided assume that links are created from these files to the user run directory.

We suggest creating a directory ifsdata somewhere and unpacking the files there.

FilenameSizeDescription
ifsdata_climatology.tar.gz15MbContains the various longlived gases and aerosol climatologies used by the model. Unpacks into a directory called climate.
ifsdata_cy38_climate.tar.gz2.5GbContains ozone climatology for all supported horizontal and vertical resolutions, including full and reduced Gaussian grid versions. Unpacks into two directories, 38 and 38r1. The files in 38r1 link to the files in 38 but allow for model version specific changes.
ifsdata_rtables.tar.gz<1MbContains namelists defining the supported grid resolutions for the radiation scheme. File name suffix refers to the type of grid and last 3 digits refers to the horizontal resolution. Unpacks to a directory: rtables.
ifsdata_vtables.tar.gz<1MbContains namelists defining the coefficients for the supported vertical resolutions. File name suffix refers to the number of levels. Unpacks to a directory: vtables.

To unpack the files either use the 'tar zxf' command if your version of tar supports the 'z' option, or use gunzip / tar.
