Explore the test cases¶
Installation¶
Download¶
./tests
root directory with$ git clone http://github.com/NEMO-ocean/NEMO-examples
Compilation¶
The compilation of the test cases is very similar to the manner the reference configurations are compiled. If you are not familiar on how to compile NEMO, it is first recomended to read the instructions.
-r
option,
test cases can be compiled by the use of makenemo
with -a
option.$ ./makenemo -n 'WAD2' -a 'WAD' -m 'my_arch' -j '4'
Run and analysis¶
There no requirement of specific input file for the test_cases presented here. The XIOS xml input files and namelist are already setup correctly. For detailed description and Jupyter notebook, the reader is directed on the NEMO test cases repository
The description below is a brief advertisement of some test cases.
List of test cases¶
BENCH¶
ICE_AGRIF¶
README
for details)VORTEX¶
This test case illustrates the propagation of an anticyclonic eddy over a Beta plan and a flat bottom. It is implemented here with an online refined subdomain (1:3) out of which the vortex propagates. It serves as a benchmark for quantitative estimates of nesting errors as in [T1], [T2] or [T3].
The animation (sea level anomaly in meters) illustrates with two 1:2 successively nested grids how the vortex smoothly propagates out of the refined grids.
ISOMIP¶
LOCK_EXCHANGE¶
OVERFLOW¶
WAD¶
CANAL¶
East-west periodic canal of variable size with several initial states and associated geostrophic currents (zonal jets or vortex).
ICE_ADV2D¶
