This will load all the OpenIFS and SCM environment variables. The OpenIFS variables are described in Getting started, so here we focus on the SCM variables, which are defined in oifs-config.edit_me.sh, with comments, as shown below
...
It is worth noting that the SCM environment variables depend on the OIFS_HOME and OIFS_EXPT, which are also defined by sourcing oifs-config.edit_me.sh. In the above there is the assumption that the SCM executable exists in ${OIFS_HOME}/build/bin and that the SCM test case package exists in $OIFS_EXPT.
Extract SCM test-case package
In a similar fashion to the OpenIFS package and the experiment data, the SCM test-case package can be download from https://sites.ecmwf.int/openifs/openifs-data/scm/48r1/scm_openifs_48r1.1.tar.gz. Please note that access to this web site is restricted to registered OpenIFS users, i.e. your personal ECMWF account must have been added to the OpenIFS user policy.
In the example below we assume that the SCM package shall be installed in the $OIFS_EXPT directory, where the $OIFS_EXPT is the OpenIFS experiment directory, which is defined oifs-config.edit_me.sh, and that wget utility is available for convenient download:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
cd $OIFS_EXPT wget# download the scm_openifs_48r1.tar.gz from https://sites.ecmwf.int/openifs/openifs-data/scm/48r1/scm_openifs_48r1.1tar.gz model and copy the tarball to your $OIFS_EXPT directory: cp scm_openifs_48r1.tar.gz $OIFS_EXPT tar -xvzf scm_openifs_-48r1.1.tar.gz |

The untarred SCM package is small, ~45 Mb and data produced by a standard individual SCM simulation is also low. However, if I user is planning to perform many simulations and store the data, which is often the case, the disk space usage can become large. If this is the plan, then a user may need to consider installing the SCM test-case package on a larger disk area than $ |
Once installed it is important to ensure that the $OIFS_EXPT is set to the directory that scm_openifs has been installed in. For example, in the template oifs-config.edit_me.sh, $OIFS_EXPT=${HOME}/openifs-expt . In this scenario, the directory scm_openifs needs to be in $OIFS_EXPT or `${HOME}/openifs-expt/.
