Evaluation of LMDZOR6 with aerosols defined with 1 and 3 parameters

Model installation

1. Start to import modIPSL: svn co http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg/svn/modipsl/trunk modipsl
2. Change LMDZ revision to testing 2471 and ORCHIDEE to trunk 3013 in mod.def
3. Install the model: cd modipsl/util ; ./model LMDZOR6

3b. To enable debug version: edit modipsl/config/LMDZOR/Makefile and add debug option:

lmdz: ../../modeles/LMDZ
   (cd ../../modeles/LMDZ ; ./makelmdz_fcm -debug -d $(RESOL_LMDZ) [...]
   (cd ../../modeles/LMDZ ; ./makelmdz_fcm -debug -d $(RESOL_LMDZ) [...]

4. Activate RRTM mode in modipsl/modeles/LMDZ/makelmdz_fcm: rrtm=true

5. Compile: cd modipsl/config/LMDZOR ; gmake

To use aerosol strato

1. Edit corresponding PARAM/*.def file and add flag_aerosol_strat=y
2. Edit COMP/lmdz.card and configure the access to the AOD file containing a TAUSTRAT variable.

For example:

[BoundaryFiles]
List=   (${STORE_DIR}/INPUT/SATO/taustrat.${year}.nc, taustrat.nc)

3. Check that output variable OD_10um_STRAT is defined and OD550_STRAT is activated in LMDZ (file modipsl/modeles/LMDZ/DefLists/field_def_lmdz.xml):
   

        <field id="OD550_STRAT" long_name="Aerosol Optical depth at 550 nm " unit="1" enabled="TRUE" />
        <field id="OD_10um_STRAT" long_name="Stratospheric Aerosol Optical depth at 10 um" unit="-" />
   

4. Activate the variable output in PARAM/file_def_hist*_lmdz.xml:
   

   <field field_ref="OD_10um_STRAT" level="2" />
   

Tests

run AP with "official" forcings: testLMDZ6

• Model compile without RRTM and debug.
• Restart: start.nc and restartphy.nc from ELIHAD07-9695x39
• Boundary: use limit.ncfrom ELIHAD07-9695x39
• COMP/lmdz.card: LMDZ_Physics=AP and flag_aerosol=6
• config.card:

  CalendarType=360d
  
  StartDate=1991-01-01
  EndDate=1994-12-30
