Configuring and Running Model Simulations

The CEFI-regional-MOM6 repository contains the model source code, FRE workflow XMLs, and recommended configurations for various regional domains. This guide provides an overview of compiling and running the model on different supported platforms, including instructions for utilizing the GFDL FRE workflow on Gaea.

Run model within container on laptop/workstation

We offer a containerized solution for users interested in exploring the CEFI-regional-MOM6. For a quick start, users can refer to the Container-Based Quick Start Guide to run a 1D toy model case on their laptop/workstation.

Compile model and Run example NWA12-COBALT case on Gaea C6

1. After logging into Gaea C6, navigate to your scratch folder and git clone the CEFI-regional-MOM6 repository:

> cd /gpfs/f6/ira-cefi/scratch/%USER
> git clone -b https://github.com/NOAA-GFDL/CEFI-regional-MOM6.git --recursive

2. Compile the model:

> cd CEFI-regional-MOM6/builds
> ./linux-build.bash -m gaea -p ncrc6.intel23 -t repro -f mom6sis2

If the build completes successfully, you should be able to find the executable here: builds/build/gaea-ncrc6.intel23/ocean_ice/repro/MOM6SIS2

3. Run NWA12 Experiment on Gaea C6 using SLURM

> cd ../exps
> ln -fs /gpfs/f6/ira-cefi/world-shared/datasets ./
> cd NWA12.COBALT
> sbatch run.sub

For details on configuring the model and running the NWA12 example case on various platforms, please refer to this page.
