= MOSAIX = [[PageOutline]] MOSAIX is a small set of fortran routines, bash scripts, python scripts and xml files allowing to generate coupling weights for IPSL Earth System Model. It is under development, and presently not used by the production runs. It aims to replace the old MOSAIC software. It uses XIOS as a library to compute weights. In the present state, it can handle ORCA, LMDZ lon/lat and DYNAMICO grids. MOSAIX can generate 2^nd^ order interpolation weights. They are used in place of bilinear interpolation by OASIS-MCT. As MOSAIX uses XIOS, it works in parallel, using MPI distributed memory. == Compatibility with MOSAIC == * Weights are generally compatible with the weights generated by MOSAIC. The precision of the interpolation (conservation) is improved. * '''Run-off''' : runoff weights are computed with a different algorithm, the result can be quite different. * '''Calving''' : In IPSLCM6, the calving was integrated for each latitude of the grid on the LMDZ grid. Weights were use to aggregate several latitudes to compute an integral over a latitudinal band.. This is not possible with DYNAMICO, and was abandon for rectilinear LMD grid. The atmosphere model must the integral over a region (presently latitudinal bands). The final result should be the same as with MOSAIC. == Known problems == * Must determine if weight and grid files should be in netCDF3 or netCDF4 for OASIS-MCT. == Future work == * Geographical distribution of the calving for the northern hemisphere. == Code availability == * Web : https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg/browser/TOOLS/MOSAIX * SVN : {{{svn co http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg/svn/TOOLS/MOSAIX MOSAIX}}} * SVN : {{{svn co svn+ssh://@forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ipsl/forge/projets/igcmg/svn/TOOLS/MOSAIX MOSAIX}}} == Portability == MOSAIX has been tested on Curie and Irene ([[https://www-tgcc.ccc.cea.fr|TGCC]]) . == Requirements == * Fortran compiler, C++ compiler, MPI. * A working [[http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ioserver|XIOS]] library. Revision 1615 is known to work. * fcm version 1.2 * NetCDF fortran librairies. See [[http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ioserver|XIOS]] for a suitable version. * Python, version>=3.6 with [[http://unidata.github.io/netcdf4-python/|netCDF4]] and [[http://www.numpy.org|numpy]] modules. Python version>=2.7 mights work, but has not been tested recently. * Bash version>=4. * [[http://nco.sourceforge.net|NCO]]. Version 4.6.0 is known to work. == Input files == MOSAIX needs files describing the grid of the models. See {{{CreateWeightsMask.bash}}} and the bottom of this page. == Output files == All netCDF files have a detailed header. * Weight files {{{rmp_*}}}. Should have a rather explicit name. The name is configurable at the beginning of {{{CreateWeightsMask.bash}}}. * Diagnostic file used for debug {{{dia_*.nc}}} for each rmp file, except for runoff and calving. Debug information are directly in weight files in this last cases. * Grid description file for OASIS-MCT {{{grids.nc}}}, {{{areas.nc}}} and {{{masks.nc}}}. * A file containing the fraction of ocean in each atmosphere grid box. For instance {{{ICO40_grid_maskFrom_eORCA1.2.nc}}}. * A {{{README}}} file. Includes a checksum for each generated files. == Scripts and codes == * '''!CreateWeightsMask.bash'''. Creates the weights to interpolate between atmospheric and ocean grid. Weight files are suitable for OASIS-MCT. Creates the fraction of ocean in atmospheric grid cells. Uses parallel processing with MPI. Has a configuration section at the beginning. * '''!CreateOasisGrids.bash'''. Creates files {{{grids.nc}}}, {{{areas.nc}}} and {{{masks.nc}}} with information from both models, suitable for OASIS-MCT. Mono CPU. Launched by {{{CreateWeights.bash}}}. * '''update_xml.py'''. Python script used to perform on the fly editing of xml files. Used by {{{CreateWeights.bash}}}. More information with {{{python update_xml.py -h}}}. * '''iodef_atm_to_oce.xml''' and '''iodef_oce_to_atm.xml'''. xml files read by {{{interpol.f90}}}. These files are edited by {{{update_xml.py}}}. * '''MOSAIX/src/MOSAIX/interpol.f90'''. Fortran source using the XIOS library. * '''make_mosaix'''. Small script for compiling '''interpol.f90'''. You need to compile XIOS first. Uses compiler, compiler options and librairies defined by XIOS. {{{#!sh make_xios [options] options : [--xios path] : path to XIOS. Default is ../XIOS [--full] : to regenerate dependencies and recompile from scratch Example : ./make_mosaix --xios ../XIOS }}} * '''!RunoffWeights.py'''. Python code to generates weights for run-off. Launched by {{{CreateWeights.bash}}}. More information with {{{python RunOffWeights.py -h}}}. 1) Defines a coastal band on land in the atmosphere model. For LMDZ rectilinear grids, the width of this band is parametrized, in grid points. For ico grids, the band contains only point with a fraction of ocean in ]0,1[. 2) Defines a coastal band on ocean in the ocean model. The width of this band is parametrized. 3) An atmosphere point of the coastal band is linked to an ocean point in the coastal band if the distance between the two is less than {{{searchRadius}}}. * '''!CalvingWeights.py'''. Python code to generates weights for calving. Launched by {{{CreateWeights.bash}}}. More information with {{{python CalvingWeights.py -h}}}. 1) The atmosphere model integrate the calving over on specific regions. Presently the regions are three latitudinal bands with limits 90°S/40°S/50°N/90°N. 2) The weights distribute the calving in the ocean in the corresponding latitudinal bands. By default, the distribution is uniform. 3) For the southernmost band, it is possible to use a geographical distribution read in a file. These files are currently available for eORCA1 and eORCA025. == Grids == * ''[tuv]orc''. ORCA grid at ''[TUV]'' points. Masked on land, with area equal to grid box surface. * ''tlmd''. LMD rectilinear grid at scalar (physics) point. Masked on land, with area equal to grid box surface. * ''tico''. LMD icosahedron grid at scalar (physics) point.
