Fortuna 2.0 User's Guide

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.
