Method 1:  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 interchangeably. 

To proceed you should: 

  • create Create a new home for the OpenIFS/AC installation. Here we call this location /home/openifs-ac
  • change Change into your new directory and unpack therein the original OpenIFS model sources:   tar xvzf oifs43r3v2.tgz
  • in In a second step, in the same folder unpack the OpenIFS/AC sources:  tar xvzf openifs-ac.43r3.v1.tgz

...

For the conversion you should:

  • change Change into your $OIFS_HOME directory where OpenIFS is installed:  cd $OIFS_HOME
  • in In this directory extract the downloaded source package:   tar xvzf openifs-ac.43r3.v1.tgz

...

As a next step you should: 

  • create Create a new directory which will contain the additional data that is required for atmospheric composition modelling and it will also contain the new OIFS_DATA_DIR.  Here we call this location /data/openifs-ac
  • download Download the required four additional data tgz archives into /data/openifs-ac.  The following commands will work on the Atos HPC:

    No Format
    cd /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 .
    ecp ec:/nm6/oifs/ICMCL-2010.tgz .


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

    43r3/chemistryAC specific
    43r3/xdataAC specific
    43r3/rtablesStandard dataset for OpenIFS 43r3
    43r3/climate.v015Standard dataset for OpenIFS 43r3 + AC specifics
    43r3/ifsdataStandard dataset for OpenIFS 43r3
    43r3/wamWave model data for OpenIFS 43r3, needs to be added explicitly 


...

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

  • change Change $OIFS_HOME to point to your installation of openifs-ac (and not to the standard oifs43r3 installation), in our example this is /home/openifs-ac.
  • change Change $OIFS_DATA_DIR to the location with the additional data packages, in our example this is /data/openifs-ac.
  • before Before compiling the model sources edit $OIFS_HOME/make/oifs.fcm to enable chemistry (which is by default disabled).
