LVT on JASMIN #6

Open caroduro opened 5 years ago

caroduro commented 5 years ago

There has been an huge interest of people, at the University of Reading, Met office, and the University of Exeter, working with JULES the land model to have LVT installed on JASMIN.

This is another tool for benchmarking the big difference between LVT and ILAMB is that in the first one you can do the comparison of observational data in different time step while with ILAMb is montly average benchmarking.

The LVT is a NASA open source tool, please find more information about it on: https://lis.gsfc.nasa.gov/source/lvt

Bash script : https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/browser/a/p/0/9/1/trunk/run_all_sites.bash

Template for LVT: https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/browser/a/p/0/9/1/trunk/data/template_lvt.config

Unfortunately I could not work out how to build this.

Using source code from https://lis.gsfc.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/LIS/public_7_4_releases/LISF_public_release_7.4.0.tar.gz

Installation docs at https://lis.gsfc.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/LIS/public_7_4_releases/LISF_installation_guide.14-jun-2022.pdf but I don't see specific instructions on what to type. The compile script produces a number of lines saying "Generating dependencies", but then fails with

make: *** No rule to make target `configure.lvt'.  Stop.

[ERR] Compile failed

There is no mention of configure.lvt in the help doc.

In any case, this does not look like it will be suitable for building as a conda package (for Jaspy) or an RPM (for jasmin-sci), so would probably need to be installed into /apps. Maybe a community-supported package under /apps/jasmin/community.

For purposes of Jaspy, I propose to close this ticket, but will leave on hold for now so that @agstephens can review this decision.
