Introduction
The OpenIFS tarfile distribution includes a simple low resolution (T21) test job that can be used to verify the model is working correctly in the directory: oifs/t21test. It is strongly recommended that after compiling the model successfully, these short tests are run.
Directory t21test
...
The directory t21test contains a number of files:
...
ref_021_*
These files are reference output for the model tests. The model can be run in 'reference' mode where it checks it is working correctly by comparing some mathematical norms against these files. Reference runs are described in more detail under 'Acceptance testing' below.
Test integrations
...
A number of short model runs are recommended to verify the model is working correctly. Once you have compiled the model without errors, follow these steps.
...
- Edit 'job' and change the line beginning:
export GRIB_SAMPLES_PATH=...
to match the location of your grib_api installation. The model will fail with an error if it cannot find the 'ifs_samples' directory in the grib_api installation.
