Gerneral Circulation Models Planet Simulator (PlaSim) and PUMA

This repository has all necessary components to run the models.

These models are research models used in Meteorology and Earth Sciences. You need knowledge in Meteorology and skills in Linux, C and FORTRAN for running the models and interpreting the results.

Please start reading the manuals located in:

puma/doc for the PUMA model plasim/doc for the Planet Simulator

Then have a look at the README file for configuration and setup.

Installation

coriolis

cd /cofast/$USER
git clone https://gogs.elic.ucl.ac.be/TECLIM/PlaSim.git

cd PlaSim
./configure.sh

Quick run

cd /cofast/$USER/PlaSim
./most.x

Example:

• Select model "Planet Simulator"
• Select modules "ML Ocean" and "Sea Ice"
• Edit number of cores (eg 16)
• Switch GUI off
• Switch Output on
• Switch "Double Precision" on
• Edit number of years to run
• Click on Save & Exit

See the corresponding example below:

Now, launch the model:

cd /cofast/$USER/PlaSim
source modules.load
cd plasim/run
screen
./most_plasim_run

You can leave the screen process with

Ctrl+a d

You can monitor the model process with

cat plasim_diag | grep Completed
