Setting up a new experiment
If you choose to run a new case that is not included in the current set of DTC cases, it is relatively straightforward to do so. In order to run your own case, you will need to:
- Create necessary scripts and namelists specific to the new case
- Retrieve the data used for initial and boundary conditions (required), data assimilation (optional), and verification (optional)
There are a number of publicly available data sets that can be used for initial and boundary conditions, data assimilation, and verification. A list to get you started is available here, and we have included an automated script for downloading some forecast data from AWS, which is described on a later page. The following information will describe the necessary changes to namelists and scripts as well as provide example Docker run commands.
