You will need an appropriate tile file named DPXXX.til where XXX is the resolution you are running. In addition since the OGCM_IM and OGCM_JM must be 1 you will need appropriately modified kpar.data, sst.data, and fraci.data files.

==Overview==
The doubly periodic capability in GEOS-5 allows one to run a simulation on an arbitrary Cartesian domain with periodicity in both dimensions.
==Setup==
A doubly periodic code is run through GEOSgcm.x like full the model. in the fvcore_layout.rc file the size of the domain is specified in meters like so:
dx_const: 13000
dy_const: 13000
Thus for a given IM and JM you have a domain IMxJM grid on a Cartesian domain with size dx_const by dy_const. For now the domain and grid should be square, i.e. IM = JM.
==Example AGCM.rc==
==Example AGCM.rc==
Below is snippets showing what needs to be changed in the AGCM.rc to perform a doubly periodic run.
Below is snippets showing what needs to be changed in the AGCM.rc to perform a doubly periodic run. Note the change in the grid name that alerts the model this is a doubly periodic setup.
The most critical are the FIXED_LATS and FIXED_LONS keywords which tell where the cell is located. The CASE_ID, T0, and CASE_TRACERS values should be the values in the example below unless new cases get added in the future.
