This tutorial explains how to create a new experiment from an existing one by copying the initial files and setting up the experiment directory.

ECMWF HPCF

ECMWF operates a Cray based High Performance Computing Facility (HPCF). It consists of two identical Cray XC40 clusters with their own storage, but with equal access to the high performance working storage of the other cluster. This provides the benefit of having one very large system but the dual clusters add significantly to the resiliency of the system.

For more details about the ECMWF HPCF, please see: http://www.ecmwf.int/en/computing/our-facilities/supercomputer

All the OpenIFS experiments will make use of the ECMWF HPCF. During the workshop you will login to the 'front-end' machines and submit 'batch job's to the HPCF.

The scripts described below are provided to make preparing and submitting ensemble batch jobs easier. Useful commands are listed at the end of this tutorial.

The only namelist variable that needs changing in these experiments is NENSFNB, which the run_all_ens command does for you.

Note

The stochastic backscatter scheme LSTOPH_SPBS should be disabled for OpenIFS 43r3 and beyond as it's use has been deprecated since 40r1. It's impact is very small, less so on the newer cubic grids, and is not recommended.

The monthly mean files can be transferred to ICTP with the sftp command, to be used on the classroom PC with metview.
