5. Run

The r&d experiments have to be ran in hindcast mode. Follow the receipe below in order to run a workflow.

1. Define a workflow

A workflow is a series of tasks that will be submitted by sloop. Several tasks can be executed in parallel. Herebelow is an example of a configuration file named mangahindcast.cfg.

recdata=recextfiles_hindcast,
preproc=run_ic_hindcast,run_bc_hindcast,run_atmfrc_hindcast,run_rivers_hindcast,
model=run_model_hindcast_spnudge,
postproc=run_postprod_soap_hindcast,
arcdata=arcextfiles_hindcast,

2. Submit the workflow

The sloop run command can submit a workflow.

By executing the following command, sloop will submit the workflow defined in the configuration file named mangahindcast.cfg:

$ sloop run -w mangahindcast --ncycle 2 --freq 7

Note

ncycle give the number of model run. freq give the duration of one model run.

Warning

sloop run has to be executed in the directory of the experiment created by sloop init.

Hindcast tasks

recextfiles_hindcast	fetch input data stored on an archive remote server (hendrix for instance)
run_ic_hindcast	build an initial condition from psy4 model output
run_bc_hindcast	build the boundary conditions from psy4 model output
run_atmfrc_hindcast	build atmospheric forcing
run_rivers_hindcast	build rivers forcing
run_model_hindcast_spnudge	model run in spectral nudging mode
run_model_hindcast_free	free model run
run_postprod_soap_hindcast_spnudge	spectral nudging model output formatting for soap
run_postprod_soap_hindcast_free	free model output formatting for soap
