This page explains various aspects of running GEOS-5 Fortuna 2.0.

== Getting the Names of Exports ==

You can get the units by running the model executable 
with this line in CAP.rc changed to 3:

PRINTSPEC: 0  # (0: OFF, 1: IMPORT & EXPORT, 2: IMPORT, 3: EXPORT)
|
V
PRINTSPEC: 3  # (0: OFF, 1: IMPORT & EXPORT, 2: IMPORT, 3: EXPORT)

This will produce a list of exports, their gridded components, units, 
dimensions to stdout.  Just change the CAP.rc and run the executable -- 
it will make the list and nothing else.

== Displaying Model Experiment Results ==


  GEOS-5 Steps for Extranet Model Experiments:

   1. Have a GMAO employee *request an account* for you on the GMAO
      extranet access system, "jungle". /Note:/ You must already have an
      NCCS account first and your SATERN IT Security training must have
      been completed within the last calendar year.
   2. *Run the GEOS-5 model* on the NCCS system "discover". Use the
      "gcm_setup" script which comes with the model tag to set up the
      experiment.
      (Andy Eichmann is the GMAO contact for model support.)

      You should *choose an experiment ID (EXPID)* that is unique and
      easily identifiable, for example:
         1. The experiment ID begins with the first few letters of your
            name,
         2. The rest of the experiment ID should be numbered
            sequentially (e.g., Tom_001)

      After a successful model run, you will have all the model plot
      images automatically created. You need to now copy these images to
      the GMAO web server: jungle
   3. *Login to jungle.gsfc.nasa.gov* and *run the following* commands:

      |cd /www/html/extranet/collab/model/exps
      ./makexp|

      This script will ask a few questions to identify your experiment.
      It will then create appropriate directories which contain the
      model web pages and a location for your experiment images.

      Model directory:
      |/www/html/extranet/collab/model/exp/EXPID|

      Location for images:
      |/www/html/extranet/collab/model/exp/EXPID/CLIM|
   4. *Scp (secure copy) your GIF image files to jungle*. The location
      will be:

      |/www/html/extranet/collab/model/exp/EXPID/CLIM|

      where EXPID is your particular experiment ID.
   5. *Browse http://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/extranet/* to confirm that your
      experiment images can be accessed via GMAO's extranet.
