Overview

This experiment does not require additional data, such as SST data. Thus, the experiment is performed with the following 3 steps:

Preparation of a directory for experiments

Let us move to the top directory of dcpam5 src tree. Here, we perform an experiment in ../dcpam5-exp/p04-exp directory. Please create the directory and enter there as follows:

$ mkdir -p ../dcpam5-exp/p04-exp
$ cd ../dcpam5-exp/p04-exp

Then, pleaase create the directories for executable files and configuration files as follows:

$ mkdir bin
$ mkdir conf

Finally, executable files and configuration files are copied as follows:

$ cp ../../dcpam5/src/main/dcpam_main bin
$ cp ../../dcpam5/src/main/init_data  bin
$ cp ../../dcpam5/exp_setup_files/*.conf conf

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_T21L20.nc" using "bin/init_data" and "conf/init_data_p04_T21L20.conf"

$ ./bin/init_data -N=./conf/init_data_p04_T21L20.conf

Run the experiment

Using an executable files 'dcpam_main' and a NAMELIST file dcpam_p04_T21L20.conf, execute 'dcpam_main' as follows. This program will be finished in few minutes - tens of minutes.

$ ./bin/dcpam_main -N=./conf/dcpam_p04_T21L20.conf | tee p04.log

In this case, 12 days integration is performed. Resolution is T21L20 (Number of grid points of longitude, latitude is 64, 32, and number of vertical layer is 20). History data are output to 'U.nc' and 'Temp.nc' etc., and a restart data is output to 'restart.nc'.
