Using the SatSim Gridded Component
This page describes how to use the SatSim gridded component, which implements the CFMIP observational simulator package (COSP). This package simulates the cloud observations from the satellite instruments CloudSat, CALIPSO, and PARASOL, and the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP). The SatSim gridded component is compiled by default into Fortuna 2.3.
Setting Up SatSim
SatSim is turned on by including the following line in the AGCM.rc file at runtime:
USE_SATSIM: 1
To produce output from SatSim
Compile-Time Options
The SatSim gridded component is located in GEOS_SatsimGridComp.F90
