Using the RadApp tool
Overview
The RadApp tool is a lightweight application running thru MAPL_Cap that runs the Radiation gridded component as well as the Pchem gridded component to provide aerosols to the radiation. Since it is run through MAPL_Cap the application can be run for multiple time steps and out any export of the Radiation components through the History as in the full GEOS5 model. The application uses ExtData to drive the tool with external data on disc.
Setup
This is the current checkpoint procedure. Since you are running the Radiation code you must have a working copy of the full GEOS5 model. This page will not detail how to do this. The current RadApp has been developed and tested with the Ganymed-3_0 tag.
- Checkout and built the model tag
- Checkout the application by issuing: cvs co -r tag GEOSdiag_App
- Make sure the environment variable ESMADIR is setup probably for the model build you want to link the application to. Typically this is /path_to_model/GEOSagcm. If this is correct there should be a src and linux directory under ESMADIR. Make you source $ESMADIR/Linx/bin/g5_modules to make sure the modules you need to build are added.
- Now simply issue: make install, and RadApp.x should be built if everything is ok.
