OpenIFS SCM over tiles

This is a layer on top of scmtiles that runs the ECMWF OpenIFS single-column model over a rectangular region.

Typical deployment

Download the scmtiles bootstrap script:

cd /path/to/my/storage
curl -o bootstrap_scmtiles.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aopp-pred/scmtiles/master/bootstrap_scmtiles.sh

Next run the bootstrap script, specifying a directory you'd like the scmtiles environment to be installed into. This directory can be anything you like, here I'm using scmtiles_expdir/ as an example:

bash bootstrap_scmtiles.sh scmtiles_expdir

Once scmtiles is installed you can enter the scmtiles directory and proceed to clone the openifs-scmtiles repository:

cd scmtiles_expdir/
git clone https://github.com/aopp-pred/openifs-scmtiles.git cascade

I've chosen to clone the repository into a directory named cg-cascade/ as the experiment I'll be setting up is related to a project named cg-cascade.

I can now enter the cg-cascade/ directory and set up the run. I'll make a copy of the template run configuration file and adjust it to my own needs:

cd cg-cascade/
cp run.cfg.template run.exp01.cfg

It is recommended to create one configuration file per experiment rather than overwriting a single configuration file.

Tips

You can use the scmenv.sh script provided by the scmtiles bootstrap script to discover the paths to Python and mpiexec for your project:

echo "which python" | ./scmenv.sh
echo "which mpiexec" | ./scmenv.sh

These are helpful when writing job submission scripts.
