Overview

This experiment requires data of distribution of sea surface temperature. So, the experiment is performed with the following 4 steps:

Preparation of a directory for an experiment

Move "practice" directory:

$ cd practice

In the directory, execute 'make' command. The execution files and the NAMELIST files will be automatically copied. Input directory name first of all after inputting 'make' command. (It is assumed "ape-nh01-exp" in the following example). Input 'Enter' to the question after that.

$ make

****** Setup a directory for a experiment ******

  Enter directory name [testXX]: ape-nh01-exp
  Directory in which executable files are prepared
    [../src/main]: 
          :

Move the directory

$ cd ape-nh01-exp

Note that you can perform an experiment in any directory by using executable files and configuration (namelist) files.

Create initial data file

Create initial data file "init_T21L22.nc" using "init_data" and "init_data_T21L22.nml"

$ ./init_data -N=init_data_ape_nh01_T21L22.nml

Preparation of additional data

This experiment requires additional data of ozone distribution. Those data are prepared at following site.

Please download "O3_NH01_T021.nc" from above site, and place those files at experimental directory.

Create SST data file

Next, create SST data "sst_T21.nc" using "sst_data" and "sst_data_ape_nh01_T21.nml".

$ ./sst_data -N=sst_data_ape_nh01_T21.nml

Run the experiment

At the last, run a experiment using "dcpam_main" and "dcpam_ape_nh01_T21L22.nml". Resolution is T21L22, time step is 20 minutes. Integration time is 7 days. A restart data file, a restart data file of surface data, and some history data files are output.

$ ./dcpam_main -N=dcpam_ape_nh01_T21L22.nml | tee ape-nh01.log

If initial data, surface data, settings of experiments want to be changed, edit "init_data_ape_nh01_T21L22.nml", "sst_data_T21.nml", "dcpam_ape_nh01_T21L22.nml".
