Since March 2022 along with NEMO 4.2 release, the code development moved to a self-hosted GitLab.
This present forge is now archived and remained online for history.

1================================
2= HOW TO COMPILE
3================================
4The DOMAINcfg tool can be compiled using the maketools script in the NEMOGCM/TOOLS directory as follows:
5:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
6./maketools -m $ARCH -n DOMAINcfg
7:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
8where $ARCH indicates the arch file to be used from the directory NEMOGCM/ARCH.
9
10DOMAINcfg compiled will create "make_domain_cfg.exe" executable script (the main routine of this tool is make_domain_cfg.f90)
11
12================================
13= HOW TO RUN
14================================
15and just run according your architecture :
16:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
17run in mpi mode with just 1 proc; example for IBM
18poe ./make_domain_cfg.exe -proc 1
19:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
20NOTA: it can be run in multiproc mode, but in output there will be domain_cfg_00xx.nc files
21
22================================
23= HOW TO USE
24================================
25::: VERY IMPORTANT PRE-REQUIRED :::
260) pre-required: this tool needs xios1
27
28  (download http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ioserver/svn/XIOS/branchs/xios-1.0
29   DOMAINcfg tool is working with revision 703 of xios)
30
31 VERY IMPORTANT : keep the namelist_ref committed inchanged!!!
321) in DOMAINcfg directory:
33   
34   - open namelist_cfg
35   - copy "namcfg" block from your 3.6_stable namelist
36   - copy "domzgr" block (and namzgr_sco block if ln_sco = .true.) from your 3.6_stable namelist
37   - copy "namdom" block from your 3.6_stable namelist
38   - copy ln_e3_dep from namelist_ref into namelist_cfg in "namcfg" block and set the value you want :
39
40   ln_e3_dep   = .true.    ! =T : e3=dk[depth] in discret sens.
41   !                       !      ===>>> will become the only possibility in v4.0
42   !                       ! =F : e3 analytical derivative of depth function
43   !                       !      only there for backward compatibility test with v3.6
44   !
45
46Use ln_e3_dep=.false. : To create same e3[tuvw] like 3.6 (e3 were done like an analytical derivative of depth function)
47
48Use ln_e3_dep=.true.  : To create e3=dk[depth] in discret sens
49
503) copy in DOMAINcfg directory same input files (of related configuration) required in v3.6_stable.
51
52DOMAINcfg package is EXACTLY what does exist in NEMO version 3.6 to define a model domain (both domain related namelist and initialization).
53DOMAINcfg tool creates a netcdf file "domain_cfg.nc" containing all the ocean domain informations required to define an ocean configuration,
54these files are :
55         
56    domain size
57    domain characteristics (periodic)
58    horizontal mesh
59    Coriolis parameter
60    depth and vertical scale factors
61
62FOR EXAMPLE
63- for AMM12 :
64            coordinates.nc
65            bathy_meter.nc
66            bathy_level.nc
67            amm12_rivers.nc
68            coordinates.bdy.nc
69            amm12_restart_oce.nc
70         directories:   bdydta/
71                        fluxes/
72- for ORCA2 :
73            coordinates.nc
74            bathy_meter.nc
75            bathy_level.nc
76            domain_def.xml
77            field_def.xml
78            iodef.xml
79
804) verify that bathymetry created here (variable "bottom_level" in domain_cfg.nc) and your old bathymetry (variable "mbathy" in mesh_mask.nc) are the same if ln_e3_dep=F:
81ncks -v bottom_level domain_cfg.nc new.nc
82ncks -v mbathy mesh_mask.nc old.nc
83ncrename -v mbathy,bottom_level old.nc
84ncdiff new.nc old.nc test_diff.nc
85
86Nota bene: if ln_e3_dep=T is used, it is ok to have few differences as long as it does not affect the boundaries (in a closed domain)
