Info
titleExercise

Please only use the 2013102400 start date to ensure we can create the full ensemble from everyone's runs in the class.

Use the createENS command to create an ensemble with just a single member .(use the option -m 1)

Info
titleExercise

Change to the experiment directory labelled by the date chosen:

Code Block
languagebash
titlee.g.
cd scratch/ENFO/2013102400/

There are two experiment directories: cf000 and pf001. cf000 is for the control forecast which is not used here. pf001 is the single perturbation forecast.

Code Block
languagebash
titleexamine files in the experiment directory
cd pf001
ls

Understand what the different files in the experiment directory are for.

Initial files

ICM* : these are the initial starting files. ICMGG* are the initial gridpoint files, ICMSH* are the initial spectral fields.

Note that part of the file name is 'oifs'. This is known as the 'experiment id' (exptid). It is also encoded into the Grib file itself.

Use the 'grib_ls' command to examine the initial files:

Code Block
grib_ls ICMGGoifsINIT
grib_ls ICMSHoifsINIT

Fortran namelist

The file: namelistfc is the model 'NAMELIST'. It contains a list of variable settings or 'switches' that control what the model does. These variables are grouped into separate fortran namelists.

The model will read this file when it starts up. There are many options to control the model. For more information, it is best and recommended to check the comments in the code. Please ask if you are interested.
