How to create a TEST CASE: STRATEGY (template test case Equatorial Box)

In https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/branches/2015/dev_r5102_CNRS11_TestCase/NEMOGCM/TOOLS/TEST_CASES directory, there are directories:

CREATE_FILES

CREATE_PLOTS

TEST_DIRECTORY

In CREATE_FILES:

there are PYTHON scripts to create these files : input netcdf files:

• coordinates
• bathymetry

constant fluxes: * input file for salinity and temperature constant

• input file for salinity constant and a temperature profile (given by Levitus profile, averaged for pacific ocean)

forcing files:

• constant fluxes

In CREATE_PLOTS:

there are FERRET scripts to create plots of :

• vertical slides of velocities (between à and 1000 meters) over all bassin (0° - 180°), average between 1°S and 1°N.
• vertical slides of temperature (between à and 1000 meters) over all bassin (0° - 180°), average between 1°S and 1°N.

In TEST_DIRECTORIES:

there are

• namelist_cfg
• iodef.xml
• cpp keys
