Installing the OpenIFS-AC sources

In order to convert the standard OpenIFS model to OpenIFS/AC the additional software package for composition needs to be installed into an existing OpenIFS installation:

We recommend to create a new installation for OpenIFS/AC. This will preserve your original OpenIFS installation and will allow you to use the standard (meteorological) model and the atmospheric composition model at the same time.

  • create a new home for the OpenIFS/AC installation, e.g. if your normal OpenIFS model is installed into a directory called  oifs43r3  then you could install OpenIFS/AC into a directory called  openifs-ac .
  • change into your new directory and unpack the original OpenIFS model sources:   tar xvzf oifs43r3v2.tgz
  • in a second step, in the same folder unpack the OpenIFS/AC sources:  tar
  • change into your $OIFS_HOME directory where OpenIFS is installed:  cd $OIFS_HOME
  • in this directory extract the downloaded source package:   tar xvzf openifs-ac.43r3.v1.tgz
Info

Note that

...

it is essential to install the original OpenIFS 43r3v2 sources first before the installation of the OpenIFS/AC sources

Alternatively, in order to convert the standard OpenIFS model to OpenIFS/AC the additional software package for composition needs to be installed into an existing OpenIFS installation:

  • change into your $OIFS_HOME directory where OpenIFS is installed:  cd $OIFS_HOME
  • in this directory extract the downloaded source package:   tar xvzf

If both the standard (meteorological) model and the atmospheric composition model are to be used at the same time, it is recommended to create a new directory for the OpenIFS/AC installation and to unpack the standard OpenIFS model sources into this directory (for instance, if the standard OpenIFS model is installed into directory 'oifs43r3', the new destination for the model sources could be extracted into directory 'openifs-ac').

  • openifs-ac.43r3.v1.

  • tgz
Info

Note that this unpacking will not only add new files into your existing $OIFS_HOME but it will also overwrite some of the existing files with new version required for OpenIFS/AC


Environment settings

In order to build OpenIFS/AC the standard environment settings for oifs43r3v2 can be used with the application of two changes:
