Running init_ocean
The initialization of the HWRF ocean model, MPIPOM-TC, is accomplished by running the init_ocean_wrapper, which is responsible for linking the ocean executables from the exec/ directory and running exhwrf_ocean_init.py to generate updated initial conditions for the ocean forecast component of HWRF. GDEMv3 is used to generate the initial condition.This step may be done prior to the completion of the init_gfs and init_gdas jobs submitted on the previous page.
Start by entering the wrappers directory:
Next, copy and edit the qsub template according to the example.
Finally, submit the job:
The init_ocean job should take approximately 15 minutes to run, but your runtime may vary.
While this job is running, the bufrprep job may be submitted, as shown in the workflow graphic at the bottom of this page. After reading the rest of this page, please proceed to the following page and submit the bufrprep job.
The following indicate that init_ocean has completed successfully:
- The standard output file (init_ocean*.out) will say: Setting RUN_COUPLED=YES in status file
- The file ${WORKhwrf}/pom/output/OCEAN/getsst.out will now exist.
- The following files will now exist and end with POM terminated successfully:
For a more detailed list of the output, please refer to Chapter 8 of the HWRF Users Guide.
Where in the process of running HWRF?
This chart shows the workflow of the HWRF system. The green box(es) show the step(s) just completed. The components stacked together can be run simultaneously.
