GEOS GCM Documentation and Access

This page describes the minimum steps required to checkout GEOS-5 AGCM.

Checking Out GEOS-5 AGCM using subversion

The commands below assume that you have a svn client installed on your machine. In order to compile GEOS5 AGCM you need to have a Fortran 90 compiler available.

The first thing you need to do is to register in the GEOS5 trac system using the following link:

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: andrew.eichmann@nasa.gov

Once approved, you will be able to checkout the source code with the following command:

 svn --username <myusername> checkout http://geos5.org/svn/branches/2.2p1/ GEOSagcm

You can create tickets through the trac system and contribute to the code.

Boundary Conditions

Boundary conditions are available by ftp from the GMAO site:

 ftp gmaoftp.gsfc.nasa.gov   (login as anonymous)
