case/UFS_Expt_E2

[bbakernoaa]

Case Details:

These runs are for prototype 7.1 of the fully coupled model. There are three proposed runs for E2. Please checkout branch experiment/UFS_EXPT_E2

• ATOM-1 : July Aug 2016
• ATOM-3 : Sept - Oct 2017
• ATOM-4 : April - May 2018

For each time period, the simulations will be initialized on the 1st and the 15th of each month with a 35-day forecast with the fully coupled model. Aerosol fields will be initialized by the MERRA2 data for that specific time period. Please use the case yaml file cases/ufs_aerosol_expt_e2_prototype71.yaml. You will need to modify the date for the current run.
