Required coding changes in GEOS-Chem

As noted in the section above, the similarities between MERRA and GEOS-FP (especially of the vertical grids) means that in most cases we can just treat MERRA in the same way as for GEOS-5. In many areas of the code, the coding changes are straightforward and simply involve an extension of C-preprocessor statements such as: 

#if defined( GEOS_5 ) || defined( MERRA )

to 

#if defined( GEOS_5 ) || defined( MERRA ) || defined( GEOS_FP ) || defined( MERRA2 )

In other areas of GEOS-Chem the changes are more involved. Below we provide a description of the areas of GEOS-Chem that were modified for MERRA:

Top-level directory

File Modifications made
Makefile_header.mk
  • If MET=merra2 or MET=merra-2 (case-insensitive), then the MERRA2 C-preprocessor switch will be activated (i.e. -DMERRA2 will be added to the Makefile variable USER_DEFS).

NcdfUtil directory

We have added the NcdfUtil/ directory, which contains routines for netCDF file I/O. These routines are based on the NcdfUtilities package by Bob Yantosca. These are built when you compile GEOS-Chem with the NETCDF=yes Makefile option.

File Description

TestNcdfUtil.F90 Test program to verify that the netCDF libraries were built properly. (This is executed only when you issue a make ncdfcheck command.)
m_do_err_out.F90 Routine to print out netCDF error messages.
m_netcdf_io_checks.F90 Routines to check whether a netCDF file contains a specified variable or dimension.

NcdfUtil/perl subdirectory

In this directory, we have added scripts for automatically generating Fortran code with the proper calls from the NcdfUtilities package. We anticipate that this will be a convenience for GEOS-Chem users, as it will relieve some of the drudgery of writing these calls by hand.

ncCodeDef Perl script that generates Fortran code to open a netCDF file and define the various dimensions, variables, and attributes.
