Data and Code Supplement for "A Mountain-Induced Moist Baroclinic Wave Test Case for the Dynamical Cores of Atmospheric General Circulation Models"

Code and Data Supplement for "A Mountain-Induced Moist Baroclinic Wave Test Case for the Dynamical Cores of Atmospheric General Circulation Models"<br> =========================================================== This directory contains the data and scripts used to create the plots from our publication as well as the source<br> code modifications necessary to run this test case within the CESM and MPAS models. Generating Plots<br> --------------- The `netcdf` directory contains the nominal half-degree runs necessary to generate nearly all of the plots from the paper. The one plot which is not reproducible from these data is the volume-integrated Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Spectral Element model. Storing high-resolution 4D wind fields requires a prohibitive amount of space. These data can be provided by the corresponding author, O.K. Hughes ([e-mail]). However, because this is several hundred GB of data I would strongly recommend generating these high-resolution runs yourself on your local system if you need them. Using 288 Intel Skylake cores (that is, 8 nodes each with two 18C processors) ran on the order of an hour. <em>In order to generate the plots from the paper, you need only install NCL and then run</em> run.bash. Instructions for installing NCL<br> can be found in the `run.bash` script. Source Code Modifications<br> ---------------- <strong>CESM</strong><br> The `src` subdirectory contains the files `user_nl_cam` and `ic_baroclinic.F90`. Create a case using `--compset=FKESSLER` and `--run-unsupported` options when running `create_newcase`. If your case is located at `${CASE_DIR}`, then from within the directory containing this README, run `cp user_nl_cam ${CASE_DIR}/user_nl_cam`, and then run `cp ic_baroclinic.F90 ${CASE_DIR}/SourceMods/src.cam/`. Then build and run the model using the usual workflow. <strong>MPAS</strong> The MPAS code was run using a branch of the MPAS model provided by the model developers to the authors. While the source code modifications are provided in the `src` directory, I would strongly recommend contacting the corresponding author if you wish to run this test case in the MPAS codebase.
