Only proceed further after the code has compiled and all the executables were built without errors.
Run the acceptance tests
The model package offers various tests to check the basic functionality of the model and to verify that all paths to the data directories are correct and accessible.
Overview
The acceptance tests are run on a T21 full Gaussian grid and are designed to require a minimum of computational resources. Several different tests are being offered which activate different pathways in the model source code. It is highly recommended to carry out these brief tests to verify that the model is working normally prior to using the model for forecast experiments.

Note: If the XIOS server is to be used in these tests then a precompiled version of its libraries needs to be accessible and the appropriate paths need to be set in oifs-config.{platform}.sh. We do not describe here how XIOS is built, more information on XIOS can be found here. |
Step-by-step
Here we describe the required steps to carry out the tests.
