5. Config file dedicated to CROCO :croco_config.cfg

These part only describe the user input config file

It allows to the user to give some parameters to configure the different sloop tasks

• Compile model :parameters related to the compilation of CROCO

• run model : parameters to run CROCO

• IBC forcing : Collect and build IBC forcing files

• Atm forcing : Collect and build atmospheric forcing file

• Extract module for IBC interpolation

• Postprod configuration : Split model output file by area and step by step in multiples netcdf files

Compile commands

Section	Sub-section	Field	Description
compile_model		croco_config_dir	Directory where to find the templates for your configuration
	tpl_files	croco_param_file	The preproc parameters template file for CROCO param.h (name must be param.h.tpl)
		croco_compile_file	The jobcomp script template to compile the code (name must be jobcomp.tpl)
		croco_preproc_file	The file containing the CPP keys that defines your configuration (name must be cppdefs.h.tpl)
	Source	croco_src_dir	The directory containing the references sources of the croco code (OCEAN)
	MPI	np_xi,np_eta	The number of procs along x and y dimension you want to user (nb_procs=np_xi*np_eta)
		nnodes	In case of MPI_NOLAND feature this is the real number of cpus used (without land cpus) given by the preprocessing programm
Run model	croco_inputs	freq_rst	Output frequency of your restart file in hours
		freq_output	Output frequency of your main history file in hours
		croco_forcing_dir	Directory containing the inputs files
		croco_frc_grid	Croco grid in netcdf format
		croco_frc_atm	Atm forcing file if not build by sloop-croco-run-atmfrc
		croco_frc_rivers	Croco runoff netcdf file if not build by sloop-croco-run-rivers
		croco_frc_tides	Croco tidal file in netcdf : Mandatory !
		croco_frc_ini	Croco initial file in netcdf if not provided by sloop-croco-run-ibc-1-init
		croco_frc_obc	Croco obc file in netcdf if not provided by sloop-croco-run-ibc-2-obc
	tpl_files	croco_config_dir	Directory containing the user config of Croco
		croco_input_file	Croco input parameters file read by croco executable (name must be croco.in.tpl)
obc_frc		model	Choice of OGCM model from which to build the IBC conditions (for now only “glorys12v1”)
		out_name	name of the Netcdf file collected by the script sloop-croco-run-ibc-0-collect
atm_frc		model	Choice of atmospheric model from which to build the forcing (for now only “arpege-hr”)
extract	namelist	file_coarse	OGCM file provided by the user if not build by sloop-croco-run-ibc-0-collect
		bathy_fine	The croco grid file in netcdf
		l_zgrid	Is your OGCM file on vertical Z-GRID ?
		b_sig,theta_sig,hc_sig	Sigma parameters to define the vertical grid : Must be the same as in croco.in file
		kmax	Number of sigma layers : must be the same as in param.h file
postprod		write_whole_domain	True if you want the sloop-croco-run-postprod-0-format-data to store the whole grid
		postprod_data_dir	path of the directory where to store the results
	zone1	activate	True if the user want to store this sub-domain
		lon_bnds	longitudes boundaries of the sub-domain
		lat_bnds	latitudes boundaries of the sub-domain
