title	icon_domain

icon_domain

Purpose provide helpful input for the ICON Grid Generator + ExtPar Web Frontend

Call cfu icon_domain <input file> [<nbound> [<nudge_zone_width> <Rn> <Bk>] ]

Result

an example output looks as follows

Code Block

 write parent grid: (tick box)
center: longitude (degrees)   -5.11000
center: latitude (degrees)    -0.77000
half width:    24.42000
half height:   23.76000
 rotate: (tick box) 
north pole: longitude (degrees) -162.00000   latitude (degrees)   39.25000

Meanings input file File that contains the rotated coordinates of the domain to which the ICON results in the post processing script of SPICE will be remapped

nbound

If only nbound is given as argument: Number of grid points by which the domain given by the input file is extended. This is to keep the rotated domain out of the boundary zone of the regional ICON.

If nbound, nudging_zone_width, Rn and Bk are given: Number of extra safety grid points

Default: 0

nudge_zone_width The number you are going to use in the namelist interpol_nml settings of your ICON simulations

Rn and Bk The n and k values for your chosen ICON grid

Remark

If all parameters are given the number of grid points for the boundaries are calculated as

nboundaries = nbound + nudge_zone_width + grf_bdywidth_c

where grf_bdywidth_c=4 as described in the ICON Tutorial.

The Rn and Bn are used in case the grid width of the rotated grid is smaller than the ICON grid. In this case the number of boundaries are extended to make sure that the boundary width is not too small.
