UFS Medium-Range Weather (MRW) Practical Session Guide | Session 2: Other Experiments

Now that you've completed session 1, here are some other cases you can run.  Each of these examples will use the same basic instructions from Session 1, and only the changes which need to be made are described here.

  • Change grid resolution
  • Run a different date and time 
  • Change the physics SDF (Suite Definition File)
  • Use a different file format for initial conditions (nemsio, netcdf)

The following datasets have been staged for this training session on cheyenne.  Please be sure to select a matching set of date/time/format when you run these cases.

Note:  the definition of a "case" in the Medium Range Weather App includes the grid resolution and physics suite.  So, a change to either of these requires running the create_newcase step again.  The date/time and file-format changes can be made in an existing case, so those two examples make changes to a case, and start from case.setup
