Introduction
The OpenIFS model is provided in several compressed tarfiles availale from the OpenIFS ftp site:
- OpenIFS source code.
- OpenIFS supporting data files.
The model will unpack into a directory called 'oifs'.
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.
OpenIFS ftp site
All the OpenIFS related files are available from the ftp site: ftp.ecmwf.int. Currently OpenIFS access is password protected. If you do not have ftp site password, please email : openifs-support@ecmwf.int.
