Running experiment with evaluation

The only difference to the explanations given for the experiments without evaluation ( Install | Configure and run test simulations) is that you have to specify the settings in ${SPDIR}/chain/gcm2icon/sp001_eva-suite/scripts_eva-suite/eva-suite_settings before you run spice. Please read here https://hereon-coast.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPICE/pages/983205 to check the settings carefully and be aware of the format for the settings of EVAL_START, EVAL_END, SUBREGIONS and SUBREGIONS_ID.

If you have already done another experiment with SPICE in advance, then you can use this old experiment as a reference simulation and you can setup the Eva-Suite to compare your new test simulation against the reference simulation by specifying REFID, REFDATADIR, and REFITYPE_TS. Otherwise, leave the three settings blank.

If you are ready with checking the settings, you can start your test simulation with

Be aware that you need to have at least a one-year experiment to achieve a convenient evaluation.

If you also want to evaluate the icon2icon experiments (downscalings of ICON), you need also to adapt the file eva-suite_settings there (icon2icon/sp002_eva-suite). Then, you can again start your simulation.

If you want to trigger the evaluation manually after your simulation has finished, then go to the subchain directory of your experiment, edit scripts_eva-suite/eva-suite_settings, and type
