− | == Downloading the GEOS-Chem Unit Tester ==
| |
| | | |
− | First, make sure that your system [[Debugging_with_the_GEOS-Chem_unit_tester#Requirements|has these software packages installed]]. (Most of these come standard with your Unix-based operating system.)
| + | == Overview == |
| | | |
− | Next, clone the [[GEOS-Chem Unit Tester]] package with the command:
| + | The method that you will use to download run directories changed in [[GEOS-Chem 13.0.0]]. Detailed instructions for downloading GEOS-Chem source code may be found in the links below: |
− | | + | |
− | git clone <nowiki>https://bitbucket.org/gcst/geos-chem-unittest</nowiki> UT
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | This will create a copy of the GEOS-Chem Unit Tester package in a directory named <tt>UT</tt> for short.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ''NOTE: The Git clone process may take a few minutes to complete depending on your connection speed.''

− | == Available run directories ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Benchmark run directory ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The [[GEOS-Chem Unit Tester]] includes a run directory called '''4x5_standard''' (GEOS-Chem v11-01 and later) or '''geosfp_4x5_benchmark''' (GEOS-Chem v10-01). The standard [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_benchmark.html GEOS-Chem benchmark simulation] utilizes the [[GEOS-FP]] met fields ([[GEOS-Chem_horizontal_grids#GMAO_4_x_5_grid|4° x 5 °]], [[GEOS-Chem_vertical_grids#72-layer_vertical_grid|72 levels]]) with the [[#UCX chemistry mechanism|UCX tropospheric-stratospheric chemistry mechanism]] and [[Secondary organic aerosols|secondary organic aerosols]] included.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | To reproduce our latest [[GEOS-Chem_v11-01_benchmark_history#v11-01k|1-month benchmark simulation for v11-01]], you can edit the <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt> file so that the following line is uncommented under <tt>RUNS</tt>:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | geosfp 4x5 - standard 2013070100 2013080100 -
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Make sure to check the start and end date so that your simulation will run for July 2013. You can then create the GEOS-Chem benchmark run directory by typing <tt>./gcCopyRunDirs</tt>. Navigate to your the newly created <tt>geosfp_4x5_benchmark</tt> run directory. To compile and run your benchmark simulation, type:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | make -j4 mp
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | To compile only, type:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | make -j4 mpbuild
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | That will create a <tt>geos.mp</tt> executable file that you can use to submit your GEOS-Chem benchmark simulation to a queue system.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <span style="color:darkorange">'''''NOTE: If you are compiling GEOS-Chem within the code directory, and not within a run directory created from the GEOS-Chem Unit Tester, you will need to pass the <tt>UCX=y</tt> option in your <tt>make</tt> command.'''''</span>

− | == Editing the CopyRunDirs.input file ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Once you have downloaded the GEOS-Chem Unit Tester to your disk space, switch to the <tt>perl/</tt> directory:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | cd UT/perl
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | In this directory there is a Perl script named <tt>gcCopyRunDirs</tt> that you will use to generate fresh copies of GEOS-Chem run directories. This script uses an input file named <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt>, which is also located in the <tt>perl</tt> directory.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Your <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt> file will look something like this:

− |
| |
− | For example, the following line:
| |
− |
| |
− | #

− |
| |
− | will tell the <tt>gcCopyRunDirs</tt> script to create a run directory for a GEOS-Chem simulation with the following settings:
| |
− |
| |
− | *Using [[GEOS-FP]] met fields
| |
− | *On the [[GEOS-Chem_horizontal_grids#GMAO_4_x_5_grid|4° x 5° GEOS-Chem horizontal grid]]
| |
− | *For the [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol|GEOS-Chem standard full-chemistry simulation]]
| |
− | *Starting at 00:00 GMT on 2013/07/01
| |
− | *Ending at 00:00 GMT on 2013/08/01
| |
− |
| |
− | The date range will be used to initialize the <tt>input.geos</tt> file that is read during a GEOS-Chem simulation. Once the run directory is created, you may edit these dates within the <tt>input.geos</tt> file. Note, however, that time ranges must remain within the time range covered by the <tt>MET</tt> field you are using. You can check the <tt>MET</tt> field temporal coverage on the [[Overview_of_GMAO_met_data_products|GMAO met data products wiki page]]. '''Also note that we recommend using the restart files to spin up GEOS-Chem for at least one year prior to your simulation start date. You may use the resulting output restart files as initial values for your simulation.'''

| |
− | == Generating a GEOS-Chem Run Directory ==
| |
− |
| |
− | Once you have edited the <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt> script to your liking, you can use that to generate fresh copies of GEOS-Chem run directories. Make sure you are in the <tt>perl</tt> directory, and then type:
| |
− |
| |
− | ./gcCopyRunDirs
| |
− |
| |
− | If you do not pass a file name to <tt>gcCopyRunDirs</tt>, then the <tt>gcCopyRunDirs</tt> script will use the <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt> file that you just modified.
| |
− |
| |
− | If you wish, you can create many customized copies of <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt>. For example, suppose you edit <tt>CopyRunDirs.input</tt> to generate a full-chemistry run directory. You can then save it as a separate file and use it explicitly with <tt>gcCopyRunDirs</tt>.
| |
− |
| |
− | cp CopyRunDirs.input CopyRunDirs.fullchem # Input file set up to only copy the full-chemistry run directories
| |
− |
| |
− | gcCopyRunDirs CopyRunDirs.Hg
| |
− |
| |
− | Executing <tt>gcCopyRunDirs</tt> will create a new GEOS-Chem run directory corresponding to each entry that you specified in the input file <tt>RUNS</tt> section. Each run directory will be created as a subdirectory of <tt>COPY_PATH</tt> that you specified in the input file <tt>INPUTS</tt> section.
| |
− |
| |
− | Let's examine the contents of a sample <tt>geosfp_4x5_standard</tt> run directory. Navigate to your newly created run directory and tssue the following commands:
| |
− |
| |
− | make fileclean # Remove any files left over from previous unit test runs
| |
− |
| |
− | ls -1 # Get directory listing
| |
− |
| |
− | And you will see this directory listing:

− |
| |
− | ''NOTE: Run directories for other simulations may contain other files not pictured here.''
| |
− |
| |
− | The <tt>input.geos</tt> and <tt>HEMCO_Config.rc</tt> files have been customized for this particular simulation. They were created from the corresponding template files <tt>input.geos.template</tt> and <tt>HEMCO_Config.template</tt> in the Unit Tester. The Perl script <tt>getRunInfo</tt> is used by the Makefile to extract information about the simulation from <tt>input.geos</tt>. HEMCO and tracer restart files are also included in every run directory but care must be taken when using them. See the section below for more information about restart files.

| |
− | == Tips and tricks for creating run directories ==
| |
− |
| |
− | * You can create a run directory for the [[GEOS-Chem_nested_grid_simulations|nested grid simulations]] from a 4° x 5° or 2° x 2.5° run directory by following these steps:
| |
− | *# Modify the <tt>input.geos</tt> file for the nested grid simulation. Complete instructions can be found on [[Setting_up_GEOS-Chem_nested_grid_simulations|this wiki page]].
| |
− | *# Regrid the restart file(s) using the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/doc/by_category/Regridding.html GAMAP regridding routines]. For example, [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/doc/by_category/Regridding.html#REGRIDH_RESTART REGRIDH_RESTART] can be used to regrid the tracer restart file from one horizontal resolution to another. You can then use [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/doc/by_alphabet/gamap_c.html#CREATE_NESTED CREATE_NESTED] to crop the restart file to your nested domain (CH, EU, or NA).
| |
− |
| |
− | * If you would like to run a simulation and the run directory is not available in the Unit Tester, you can follow these steps:
| |
− | *# Modify the <tt>input.geos</tt> file for your simulation type following the relevant checklist in [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/doc/man/contents.html# Chapter 6 of the GEOS-Chem Manual].
| |
− | *# Create a "fake" restart file using GAMAP routine [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/doc/by_alphabet/gamap_m.html#MAKE_RESTART MAKE_RESTART].
| |
− | *# Alternatively, you can send an email to the relevant [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_working_groups.html Working Group] to see if another member can provide you with a run directory or restart file.
| |
− |
| |
− | *The [[GEOS-Chem Unit Tester]] can be used to create run directories for [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] and later versions. If you wish to download a run directory for an older version of GEOS-Chem, you can follow [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/doc/archive/man.v9-02/chapter_2.html#DownRun these instructions].

| |
− |
| |
− | Starting in v11-01, you can now compile GEOS-Chem directory from the run directory. See the[[GEOS-Chem_Makefile_Structure|GEOS-Chem Makefile Structure wiki page]] wiki page for more information about compiling GEOS-Chem and using the run directory Makefile.

| |
− | == GEOS-Chem Output Files ==
| |
− |
| |
− | Once the GEOS-Chem simulation is complete, you will see several new files in the run directory. Some of these are generated for all simulations while others may be simulation-dependent. For more information, see our [[GEOS-Chem Output Files|''GEOS-Chem Output Files'' wiki page]].
