Note

Download and extraction of the OpenIFS 48r1 sources tarball is only required if a user has not previously done this for a general OpenIFS install.

If a user has already downloaded the OpenIFS package to install the 3D model, there is no need to extract the package again, since the SCM is packaged with OpenIFS.

Setting up the SCM for a test-case

Before the SCM can be run, it is necessary to

...

Once installed it is important to ensure that the $OIFS_EXPT is set to the directory that scm_openifs has been installed in. For example, in the template oifs-config.edit_me.sh, $OIFS_EXPT=${HOME}/openifs-expt . In this scenario, the directory scm_openifs needs to be in $OIFS_EXPT or `${HOME}/openifs-expt/.  

Run the SCM

Once the above has been completed, it is necessary to select which test-case to run. There is a choice of the following 3 testcases

  • DYCOMS - marine stratocumulus case
  • BOMEX - trade-wind cumulus case 
  • TWPICE - A multi-day deep convective case

The case can be set in the oifs-config.edit_me.sh, using SCM_CASE_LIST 

Code Block
languagebash
themeMidnight
SCM_CASE_LIST="BOMEX TWPICE DYCOMS"

The above will run all the cases. If making this change in oifs-config.edit_me.sh, remember to source the file once the change has been made.

Once the cases are set, then do the following to run the SCM

Code Block
languagebash
themeMidnight
cd $OIFS_HOME
$SCM_TEST/callscm

This will run all the cases defined in SCM_CASE_LIST and write the output to $SCM_RUNDIR
