This file includes the main settings for the simulation and is called at the beginning of each script in the job chain.

Environment Variable

Description

EXPID

job identification

Main directory settings

SPDIR

Absolut parent path of the SPICE directory. SPDIR only occurs in job_settings. This is not necessary to set if you define the different paths by yourself.EXPID

job identification

Main directory settings

PFDIR

Parent directory where the scripts for the experiment are stored. PFDIR should be on a disk partition that is saved frequently as a copy.

WORKDIR

NONE of the created files under this directory will be deleted at the end of the simulation. The disk partition should have enough remaining disk space.

SCRATCHDIR

ALL created files under this directory will be deleted at the end of the job chain. This disk partition is only for temporary file storage.

SRCDIR

directory of supplementary programs

DATADIR

directory holding supplementary data (grid descriptions etc.)

ARCHIVE_OUTDIR

Directory where the results should be archived. "Results" are the output of the ICON output streams define in the namelist block gribout.

RESDIR

Directory where the restart files will be stored

INIDIR

Directory where some initial data are saved (e.g. the external data of the driving model)

Information on the time period of the simulation

YDATE_START

Start date of simulation YYYYMMDDHH[mmss]

YDATE_STOP

End date of simulation YYYYMMDDHH[mmss]

INC_DATE

Time increment for the CCLM job. Standard is one month 01:00:00 . You may want to use a higher frequency, e.g. if a monthly increment exceeds the batch job limits of your computing system.
Valid values are 01:00:00, 00:01:00, 00:02:00, ... , 00:27:00

ITYPE_CALENDAR

Calendar settings. 0 = proleptic gregorian, 1 = 360 day year, 2 = 365 day year

Email and account settings

EMAIL_ADDRESS

Replace this with your email address or leave the environment variable empty to prevent getting emails from your batch system

NOTIFICATION_ADDRESS

The run scripts send notifications to this address, in case it is set. In case of mailx is used this is your email address.

NOTIFICATION_SCRIPT

The script holding the notification instruction including the whole absolute path to the script. It is called like so

Code Block
${NOTIFICATION_SCRIPT} ${NOTIFICATION_ADDRESS} subject message-file

The following scripts are available under ${SPDIR)/src/notifications:
mailx.sh - for notifications with mailx
mattermost.sh - for notifications in a mattermost hook
pushover.sh - for notifications through pushover https://pushover.net/

You can also define your own notification script holding your favorite notification system.

PROJECT_ACCOUNT

On the computer systems at DKRZ you need to set you project account ID. If your computings system does not have this feature you can leave it open

CFU

cfu (climate fortran utilities) program including the absolute path. These are part of the CCLM starter package

ITYPE_CCLM_ARCH_PAR

Submit icon.job.sh in arch.job.sh directly after checking the CCLM output (=1,  i.e. icon simulation and archiving job are running in parallel after the file checking) or at the end of arch.job.sh (=0, i.e. are running sequentially).

ITYPE_COMPRESS_POST

Compression type of output in post-processing
0 = no compression
1 = internal compression (compression in netCDF file, requires netCDF Library with HDF-lib and z-lib)
2 = external compression (compression with gzip, requires gzip version >=1.6 to be installed)

ITYPE_COMPRESS_ARCH

0 = no compression
1 = internal compression (compression in netCDF file, requires netCDF Library with HDF-lib and z-lib)

0 = no timeseries
1 = monthly

ITYPE_SAMOVAR

choose SAMOVAR check
0 = no SAMOVAR check
1 = short SAMOVAR check (just the output of the last day of the month in each "outNN" directory)
2 = long SAMOVAR check (all output files will be checked)
