  • change OIFS_HOME to point to the installation of openifs-ac (and not to the standard oifs43r3 installation)
  • change OIFS_DATA_DIR to a bespoke path as the additional data packages will be added to the climate data files; we describe below what date needs to be moved to this directory
  • before compiling the model sources edit $OIFS_HOME/make/oifs.fcm to enable chemistry (which is by default disabled)

...

Obtaining additional data packages

  • Create a new directory which will contain (as a subdirectory) the new OIFS_DATA_DIR.  We call it /data/openifs-ac.
  • Download the additional data tarballs that are required for chemistry experiments into /data/openifs-ac:

    No Format
    cd $OIFS_DATA_DIR/data/openifs-ac
    module load ecfs
    ecp ec:/nm6/oifs/oifs-ac-43r3-chem.tgz .  
    ecp ec:/nm6/oifs/oifs-ac-43r3-xtra.tgz .
    ecp ec:/nm6/oifs/oifs-ac-43r3-initcond.tgz .  (initial experiment data for first day of month, 12 months of 2010; goes into $OIFS_DATA_DIR/ICMCL)
    ecp ec:/nm6/oifs/ICMCL-2010.tgz .


  • Unpack the following files:  oifs-ac-43r3-chem.tgz and oifs-ac-43r3-xtra.tgz into $OIFS_DATA_DIR/data/openifs. This will result in the following directory structure:
43r3/chemistry

AC specific

43r3/xdataAC specific
43r3/rtablesStandard dataset for OIFS-43r3
43r3/climate.v015Standard dataset for OIFS-43r3 + AC specifics
43r3/ifsdataStandard dataset for OIFS-43r3
43r3/wamStandard dataset for OIFS-43r3, needs to be added explicitly   
  • set the new environment variable:   export OIFS_DATA_DIR=/data/openifs-ac/43r3

The following two tgz archives The following files can be unpacked to any location (can be outside $OIFS_DATA_DIRin this example the files will be retained in /data/openifs-ac):

  • Unpack oifs-ac-43r3-initcond.tgz into a directory /data/openifs-ac/INITIAL-CONDITIONS. These files are initial data files for the model experiments.
  • Unpack ICMCL-2010.tgz into a directory /data/openifs-ac/ICMCL. This directory contains monthly files with surface boundary conditions (e.g. SSTs, soil temps, albedos, LAI etc).

(Comment:  if we unpack these files into $OIFS_DATA_DIR there is no need for a 43r3 subdirectory.  Note that the ifsdata, wam and rdata directories are missing and need to be copied over from a standard OIFS_DATA_DIR installation.  "wam" data directory is not standard for OpenIFS)

Building the model

It is recommended to open an interactive session on a MOM node for compilation:

Code Block
languagebash
titleHow to start interactive session on the ECMWF HPCF
% qsub -I -q dp -l EC_total_tasks=12 -l EC_job_tmpdir=10G -l EC_memory_per_task=3G

Compile If you have a configuration script that sets the environment run this first.  Then edit oifs.fcm and enable chemistry as mentioned above.  Then compile the model as usual using fcm:(run first the configuration script that sets the environment)

No Format
cd $OIFS_HOME/make
fcm make -v -j 6 -f oifs.fcm
