NEMO-NEMOVAR assimilation suite for MONSooN

Instructions for running ​puma-aa145 on MONSooN. This refers to revision 429.

This is a port of the Met Office suite mi-af769@33134 developed by Chris Hughes.

Running

The suite is set up to run a 2 day test with 1 day cycling, starting from 1 Jan 2011. Note that for this particular date, no profile data are available, so the "daily_observations_profile" app will fail. The NEMO observation operator can still run without this data, however, and the suite should continue to run.

• Take a copy of the suite (using rosie suite-copy or rosie checkout).

• Edit the GROUP variable in the rose-suite.conf file to your MONSooN project (it is currently set to "jomp"). No other changes should be required.

• The suite can then be run using rose suite-run.

Editing

To change the start date and run length, edit the START_POINT and RUN_LENGTH variables in the rose-suite.conf file.

You will also need to edit the "daily_fluxes", "daily_observations" and "fixed_restarts" apps to point to the locations of the input data.

Unlike many other suites, the app definitions are held in a branch of the UKMO repository:
​r5062_standalone_apps_MONSooN/config/Rose/apps

This is specified in the rose-suite.conf file as follows:

[file:app/daily_fluxes]
source=svn://puma.nerc.ac.uk/NEMOCICE_svn/UKMO/branches/dev/annette/r5062_standalone_apps_MONSooN/config/Rose/apps/operational_atmospheric_forcing@5256

To make changes, checkout a copy of the branch and set source to be the path to the working copy.

To checkout run:

fcm checkout svn://puma.nerc.ac.uk/NEMOCICE_svn/UKMO/branches/dev/annette/r5062_standalone_apps_MONSooN

Navigate to the app directories (eg config/Rose/apps/operational_atmospheric_forcing) and edit the environment variables set in the rose-app.conf files.

If profile input data is available, be sure to switch to the proper version of the "nemo_cice" app.

[file:app/nemo_cice]
source=svn://puma.nerc.ac.uk/NEMOCICE_svn/UKMO/branches/dev/annette/r5062_standalone_apps_MONSooN/config/Rose/apps/GO5_nemo_GSI6_cice@5256
#source=/home/aospre/code/ukmo/r5062_standalone_apps_MONSooN_no_profile/config/Rose/apps/GO5_nemo_GSI6_cice

To do: Move environment variables to higher level so that don't need to change branch to change data directories.

Input data

There are interface definitions for each of the apps.
