OpenIFS directory layoutThe model will unpack into a directory called 'oifs'. The directory structure for the OpenIFS model and code will depend on local installation requirements. A suggested directory structure has all source code and data organised under a single directory 'oifs'. If desired, the grib_api and FCM software could also be installed under the oifs directory but it's recommended they are placed elsewhere. |
