kid-libcloud

This is work in progress related to KiD-A comparizon project (http://appconv.metoffice.com/kid_a_intercomparison/kid_a/home.html).

The lagrangian scheme from libcloudph++ library (https://github.com/igfuw/libcloudphxx) is joined to the Kinematic Driver model (KiD) using python bindings to the library (http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.01161). The KiD model is started by python code kid.py.

The KiD-A code stored in this repository was downloaded from: http://appconv.metoffice.com/kid_a_intercomparison/kid_a/kid_a_setup.tar.gz

All changes needed to the KiD code are in kid_a_setup.diff.

In order to run the model with the lagrangian scheme (having already installed the libcloudph++ library) you need to follow these steps:

• cd kid-libcloud
• gcc -fPIC -shared ptrutil.c -o ptrutil.so
• tar xvzf kid_a_setup-20180125.tar.gz
• cp mphys_libcloud_lgr.f90 kid_a_setup/src/mphys_libcloud_lgr.f90
• cp kida_icmwSC_2D_libcloud_lgr.nml kid_a_setup/namelists/
• cp kida_icmw1D_libcloud_lgr.nml kid_a_setup/namelists/
• cp ICMW_SC_input.nml kid_a_setup/namelists/
• cd kid_a_setup
• patch -p1 < ../kid_a_setup_20180125.diff

to run 2D Sc:

• make SHELL=/bin/bash CASE=ICMW_SC COMPILER=gfortran NCPATH=/usr all
• FILEOUT=output_dir LD_LIBRARY_PATH=..:bin LD_PRELOAD=ptrutil.so python ../kid.py

to run 1D case:

• make SHELL=/bin/bash CASE=1D COMPILER=gfortran NCPATH=/usr all
• FILEOUT=output_dir LD_LIBRARY_PATH=..:bin LD_PRELOAD=ptrutil.so python ../kid_1D.py
