# IPSLCM6 model #

You can find [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg_doc/wiki/DocHconfigAipslcm6#IPSLCM6model here] a description for IPSLCM6 model 

The version rc1 (IPSLCM6_rc1) runs on '''Curie-TGCC thin nodes'''.

# Resolutions and configurations #

IPSLCM6 model will be available at different resolutions/configurations : 

   * '''IPSLCM6A-VLR_rc0''' : LMDZ(Old Physics) 96x95x39-ORCHIDEE (Choisnel) - NEMO-LIM2-PISCES ORCA2. You can find [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg_doc/wiki/DocHconfigAipslcm6#IPSLCM6A-VLR_rc0 here] informations for the VLR (IPSLCM6_rc0) configuration. 
   * '''IPSLCM6-LR''' (under development, '''not available''') : LMDZ 144x144x79-ORCHIDEE (CWRR) - NEMO-LIM3-PISCES eORCA1xL75

## IPSLCM6-LR_rc1 ##

The resolution of LMDZ is 144x142 (2.5° in longitude and 1.5° in latitude) with 79 vertical levels. The ocean configuration is eORCA1L75 : global ocean with a tripolar grid with one South pole, one North pole above Siberia and one North pole above northern America. The resolution is 1°. In the tropical region, the latitudinal resolution decreases to 1/2°. There are 76 vertical levels, with 1m resolution near the surface, and 200m in the abyss. 

For LMDZ, the new physics is used. Current test (Sept. 2015) is NP 5.17h.

'''IPSLCM6-LR_rc1''' is composed of following components and tools (Sept. 2015) :

'''Caution''' : this is subject to quick changes !


### How to use it ###
Here are the commands you need to know if you want to retrieve and compile the IPSLCM6 model and if you want to setup and run a piControl experiment (only piControl experiment is available):
{{{
#!sh
mkdir YOUR_DIRECTORY ; cd YOUR_DIRECTORY
svn_ano # svn co http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg/svn/modipsl/trunk modipsl
cd modipsl/util
./model IPSLCM6_rc1
cd ../config/IPSLCM6
gmake IPSLCM6-LR
cp EXPERIMENTS/IPSLCM6/EXP00/config.card .
vi config.card # modify JobName (at least) : MYJOBNAME, restarts
../../util/ins_job # Check and complete job's header
# ../../util/ins_job -m Intel # on ada after a compilation with Intel 2016.2
cd MYJOBNAME
vi Job_MYJOBNAME # modify PeriodNb, adjust the time, headers ...
llsubmit Job_MYJOBNAME # IDRIS
ccc_msub  Job_MYJOBNAME # TGCC
}}}

### Restart files ###
Not available yet. Waiting for reference simulations.

### Output level ###
By default, only '''monthly outputs''' and '''low output levels''' are activated.

### Lengths, frequencies  ###
#### Period length ####
Default period length is 1Y, i.e in config.card :
{{{
PeriodLength=1Y
}}}
Note that clean_PeriodLenght.job will remove last period files, i.e last simulated year files.

#### Pack Frequency ####
Default pack frequency is 1Y, i.e in config.card :
{{{
PackFrequency=1Y
}}}

#### Rebuild frequency ####
Since we run with XIOS (server mode) as output library, '''the rebuild step is not needed anymore'''.

#### How to add a parameter in NEMO's namelist####
 * let find the parameter in namelist_ref. For example in modeles/NEMOGCM/CONFIG/SHARED/namelist_ice_lim3_ref
 * let find the namelist's name : for example &namicedyn
 * let add a line with the new of the parameter in the file PARAM/namelist_lim3_ORCA1_cfg in the &namicedyn section

### Computing centres ###

#### TGCC Bull Curie thin nodes ####

Default configuration on '''598 cores''' allows you to run '''3 simulated years per day'''. Because of load-balancing (difference between ocean computing time and atmosphere computing time), not all configurations (in terms of number of process/threads) are efficient. If you want to run a configuration with less cores, ask Arnaud Caubel what would be the optimum configuration.
