Running an Experiment

The examples in the CCLM starter package are built in a way that everything will be stored under the directory tree starting with $SPDIR and therefore will be on the same file system. This is often not convenient, it might be better to put scripts and I/O to different more appropriate file systems. This could be done by setting the main directory settings (see table) in the job_settings script accordingly. 

Before you run your own experiment it is recommended to run the test cases sp001 and sp002 as described in the Install section.

Downscaling simulation with GCM data (

...

gcm2icon)

Make a copy of the template sp001 as starting point for your experiment (this is named exp001 in the following, but you can use a name by yourself).

cp -R $SPDIR/chain/gcm2icon/sp001 yourpath/exp001

Change into the gcm_to_cclm/sp001 directory in the chain directory. sp001 is also the experiment name.

cd $SPDIR/chain/gcm_to_cclm/sp001

You may have to change paths in job_settings and in the files in the directory templates and the batch command.
Start the chain:

./subchain start

If the cclm simulation is successful you can find the output data under the directories $SPDIR/chain/arch/sp001 and as post-processed time series under $SPDIR/chain/work/sp001/post.

Nested simulation (

...

icon2icon)

The following scripts need the output of the sp001 experiment.
Change into the cclm_to_cclm/sp002 directory in the chain directory. sp002 is the experiment name.

cd $SPDIR/chain/cclm_to_cclm/sp002

You may have to change paths in job_settings and in the files in the directory templates and the batch command.
Start the chain:

./subchain start

If the cclm simulation is successful you can find the output data under the directories $SPDIR/chain/arch/sp002 and as post-processed time series under $SPDIR/chain/work/sp002/post.
