ECBILT/CLIO Reference Run

On these pages we show the results of a fifty year run of the coupled ECBILT/CLIO model. This data provides an impression of the characteristics of the model. The data consists of the seasonal means of the most important fields that can be output by the model averaged over the length of the run.

The model was configured with CLIO as ocean model (add --with-ocean=clio option when starting configuration script). The defaults were used for the namelist and parameter files.  The initial data set from which the run was started is located in the directory ECBILT/wkdir/ecbilt_clio_test/ic004200. The run was started by entering the following command in the root directory of the ECBILT/CLIO distribution:

./bin/run-emic -l test -s 4200 -n 50 -r 1

The output of the CLIO model was converted to NetCDF format with the cresuint tool. This tool can be built and installed by running make install in the directory ECBILT/clio/postprocessing. Upon successfull completion, the executable cresuint is located in the directory ECBILT/bin. To convert the CLIO output data, the tool should be run in the output directory (ECBILT/wkdir/ecbilt_clio_test/output004200). The tool asks for some information such as the name of the data file. Enter cresum (the basename part of the CLIO output file cresum.dat). The other information the tool asks for are the first month of data, the sample interval (in months) and the number of samples. You would normally select interpolation to obtain the data on a lon-lat grid. The output format can be either NetCDF or GrADS.
