OpenIFS directory layout

The directory structure for the OpenIFS model and code depends on local installation requirements, number of users and so on. However, a recommended directory structure would have all source code and data organised under a single directory 'oifs'.  If desired, the grib_api and FCM software could also be installed under the oifs directory but it's recommended they are placed elsewhere.

Additional software

OpenIFS users may also find the MetView and MAGICS graphics software useful with OpenIFS.
