This page lists pages with information on setting up and running GEOS-5 Icarus 1.0. Earlier and later versions of GEOS-5 may differ in details that, while minor, will require different steps for building and running, so caveat utilitor.

ChangeLog Entry

In src/Applications/GEOSgcm_App/ChangeLog:

==========================================================================
10Apr2017, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Icarus-1_0_p1 (non-zero diff to Icarus-1_0)
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Implement fix to stop the convective transport of the NI tracers by RAS.
   RAS is producing negative constituents which may cause the Radiation to crash when GOCART is not called on the HeartBeat.
2) Implement essentially zero-diff updates from Pete Colarco for CO.  (Anton's tag: asd-Icarus-UNSTABLE-a0)
   Differences arising from change in order-of-operations.
3) Implement fix for the liquid radii limits as well as integrated Dongmin's ICEFLAG=4 changes for MODIS C6
4) Move to using MPT.

Restart Changes: none


==========================================================================
28Mar2017, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Icarus-1_0 (non-zero diff to Heracles-5_4_p3)
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Modified Constraints to NOT include QV updates from Chemistry
2) Modified Constraints to act only where mass in layer has changed
3) Update Eric Nielson's Chemistry to tag: Heracles-5_4_p3_JEN_GMI-r2 (-r3 for TR directory)
4) Minor modification to GEOS_GcmGridComp.F90 to allow for Regular REPLAY of 4DIAU algorithm
5) Zero-diff Update to Anton Tag: asd-Heracles-UNSTABLE+multi_dust-a3
6) Implement Anton's Tag for GOCART Alarms: asd-Heracles-UNSTABLE+H2O2_HNO3_RECYCLE_ALARMS
7) Hardwire SOLAR_DT, IRRAD_DT, GOCART_DT to 3600
8) Implement Icarus Boundary Area to use GMTED TOPO data.
9) Updated and re-tuned GWD and Turbulence for used with Icarus/GMTED TOPO variances.
10) Added NUDGING option for Regular REPLAY.
11) Incorporated EnADAS-5_16_7p1 updates for Chem_Aod.F90 and GOCART_GridComp.F90
12) Updated Tag: mjs100__msuarez of cloudnew.F90 to inhibit SNOW during thunderstorms.
13) Modified AREAMEAN calls to use fast method. This regresses correctly, but needs testing for 
    dry mass conservation.
14) Modified defaults for GWD Parameters: BGSTRESSMAX=2.25 and PGWV=8 for LM=132 case.
15) Modified CAPE diagnostic and Bouyancy calculation in MOIST.
16) Re-introduce code in GOCART to compute GOCART_REFERENCE_TIME based on GOCART_DT and HEARTBEAT.

Restart Changes: YES. ALL RESTARTS require require REGRIDDING (or BOOTSTRAP) to new Topography


==========================================================================
Nov092016, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Heracles-5_4_p3 (non-zero diff to Heracles-5_4_p2)
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Added emission factors for sea salt and dust at C720 and finer resolutions
2) A variety of fixes for memory leaks.
3) Update StratChem to tag: Heracles-5_4_p2_JEN_SC
4) Updates to QUICKPLOT

Restart Changes: none

Running Icarus 1.0

  • Icarus 1.0 Quick Start: This page describes the minimum steps required to build and run GEOS-5 Icarus 1.0 on NCCS discover and NAS pleiades. You should successfully complete the steps in these instructions before doing anything more complicated.

Icarus 1.0 Documentation

  • Hierarchical structure: Below is a (partially folded) view of the Icarus 1.0 hierarchy where each node is a GridComp. Some of the nodes are folded (marked with a circle at the end) for clarity - clicking the composite node reveals the sub-nodes.
