== Checking Out GEOS-5 AGCM using subversion ==
'''NOTE NOTE NOTE:''' This is only to get the '''code''' for the GEOS GCM. If you wish to use the production output from GEOS as run at the GMAO, please refer to the [https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/GMAO_products/ GMAO page on GEOS products].


The commands below assume that you have a svn client installed on your machine.
== Checking Out GEOS GCM using Git ==


The first thing you need to do is to register in the GEOS5 trac system using the following link:
The commands below assume that you have git 2.x installed on your machine.  
http://geos5.org/trac


In order to access the SVN repository as a developer, you need to be approved by the GEOS5 AGCM maintainer at the following email address: [mailto:matthew.thompson@nasa.gov matthew.thompson@nasa.gov]
The GEOS GCM can be found here:


Once approved, you will be able to checkout the source code with the following command:
https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm


svn --username ''username'' checkout <nowiki>http://geos5.org/svn/branches/Heracles-5_4_p3/</nowiki> GEOSagcm
You can then clone with


You can create tickets through the trac system and contribute to the code.
git clone https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm


== Building GEOS-5 ==
but note that GEOS GCM is what we call a "fixture" that is quite lightweight and you'll see the source tree is mainly empty. In order to get the rest of GEOS, you need to use a utility called [https://github.com/ESMCI/manage_externals checkout_externals]. Once you have that installed, you run:


In order to compile GEOS-5 AGCM, you will need a variety of programs. An F90 compiler (Intel, PGI, and GCC are tested) and an MPI stack (Open MPI, Intel MPI, MVAPICH2, and SGI MPT have been tested). Beyond that, you'll also need the GMAO Baselibs, a collection of base libraries for GEOS-5 which include HDF5, netCDF-C, netCDF-Fortran, ESMF, and more. Note that while these can be built individually, GEOS-5 at present expects the libraries to be bundled in a specific way (directory-wise) to work.

== Boundary Conditions ==
inside the GEOSgcm directory. This then checks out all the sub-repositories needed for GEOS.


[[Ganymed 4.1 Boundary Conditions|Boundary conditions]] are available at NCCS, NAS, and on GMAO Desktops (limited to ''very'' low-res).
The code is publicly available, but in order to contribute to the GEOS GCM development, you will need to be added as a collaborator with the [https://github.com/GEOS-ESM GEOS-ESM] organization. Please send an email to [mailto:geos5-support@lists.nasa.gov GEOS Support] with your GitHub username. You can create tickets through the GitHub issue system and contribute to the code.


A minimal, small set of boundary conditions of approximately 300 MB (4-degree resolution or coarser, probably could only run a few model days) have been made and could possibly be distributed if needed. Contact [mailto:matthew.thompson@nasa.gov Matthew Thompson] for further inquiries.

'''NOTE:''' GMAO does '''not''' generally support building or running GEOS on systems other than on NASA Supercomputers.
Boundary conditions are available by ftp from the GMAO site:

  cd /pub/data/takacs/GEOS5/boundary_conditions


There you will find the boundary conditions for the tag Fortuna-2_1.  These bcs are currently being used for tags Fortuna-2_1 and later.
== Boundary Conditions ==


SST and aerosol data are forthcoming.
