Grid-point Model dynamical CORE (GMCORE) is currently on the latitude-longitude grid, but we also plan to incorporate quasi-uniform grid as backup. The numerics are working on C-grid, with general terrain following vertical coordinate.
First make sure you have installed netCDF library, and set NETCDF_ROOT
environment variable to it. Then clone the repository:
$ git clone https://gitee.com/dongli85/GMCORE gmcore
$ cd gmcore
$ ./pull_libs.py
You could build the model by following:
$ cd build
$ FC=mpiifort cmake ..
$ make -j8
There is a Python script run_tests.py
, which will clone the testbed repository, and run several tests, but it assumes MPI to be installed or SLURM job manager is available:
$ ./run_tests.py -w <work_directory> --slurm -q <job_queue> -n <process_number> --ntasks-per-node <n>
It will take some time to run the tests. When the tests are finished, cd to <work_directory>
, and use some visualization tools, such as Panoply, to view the results.
You are welcome to join our team to develop a robust global model!
