42c525bfb4 Alis*0001 Five level intermediate atmospheric physics example.
f925ef2945 Jean*0002  Experimental configuration is an equatorial channel
d6a28d3589 Jean*0003  of 65 degrees wide cented on the Equator. A warm SST anomaly
f925ef2945 Jean*0004  with a gaussian shape is defined at the center of the domain
d6a28d3589 Jean*0005  with an extension of ~30 degrees meridionally and ~60 degrees
f925ef2945 Jean*0006  zonally.
                0007 
d6a28d3589 Jean*0008 The local copy of S/R aim_surf_bc.F (in code directory) provide
f925ef2945 Jean*0009 a) the SST field (hard coded).
                0010 b) the time in the year is fixed and corresponds to the spring equinox;
                0011  this ensures a symetric forcing between N & S hemispheres.
                0012 The model uses the standard 5-level vertical resolution of the Speedy_v23
                0013  code; the horizontal resolution is 2.8125 with 128x23 grid points.

d6a28d3589 Jean*0017 Configure and compile the code:
                0018   cd build
                0019   ../../../tools/genmake2 -mods ../code [-of my_platform_optionFile]
                0020   make depend
                0021   make
                0022   cd ..
aea29c8517 Alis*0023 
d6a28d3589 Jean*0024 To run:
                0025   cd run
                0026   ln -s ../input/* .
                0027   ln -s ../build/mitgcmuv .

aea29c8517 Alis*0035 Notes:
                0036 * To produce a short test that is relevant for the Atmosphere physics part,
f925ef2945 Jean*0037   a restart file (pickup.0000051840) is included. The model reaches
                0038   a statistical equilibrium after 1 year.
                0039 * the file aim_SST.* contains the SST field.
                0040 * Since aim pkg uses arrays with MAX_NO_THREADS as dimension, the maximum
                0041   number of treads is set to 1 (in code/EEPARAMS.h) instead of 32, so that the
d6a28d3589 Jean*0042   size of the executable is reduced. This obviously needs to be changed
f925ef2945 Jean*0043   before compiling on a multi-threaded platform.
d6a28d3589 Jean*0044 ---------------------------
                0045 Northern boundary :
                0046 o initially, the domain (SIZE.h) 128x24x5 with a land line as the Northern
                0047   boundary, reduciong the effective domain to 128x23x5.
aea29c8517 Alis*0048 o To have a more efficient code (and a good starting point for MIT Atmos.
d6a28d3589 Jean*0049   Physics), the new domain (SIZE.h) is now 128x23x5 .
                0050   Northern and Southern boundaries are "closed" like the in Lat-Lon set-up.
