5. Verification - ktest

To check that Meso-NH has been successfully installed and compiled with OASIS, you can run the ktest 013_Iroise_OASIS_coupling. It corresponds to a coupled simulation between Meso-NH and toy model with OASIS.

To launch this ktest, do :

cd MY_RUN/KTEST/013_Iroise_OASIS_coupling
./run_013_Iroise_OASIS_coupling

Note

  • Don’t forget to load conf/profile_mesonh before launching the ktest.

  • You also need to load your python environment (see Requirements section)

At the end of the simulation, you need to find at the end of the debug.XX.000000 files in A_cpl_mnh_toy directory :

(oasis_terminate) SUCCESSFUL RUN
-- EXIT  (oasis_terminate)

And this figure needs to be plotted (MY_RUN/KTEST/013_Iroise_OASIS_coupling/A_cpl_mnh_toy/U10_CHA/U10_CHA.png):

The first line corresponds to the 10m u-wind speed sent from Meso-NH (a) to the toy model (b). The second line corresponds to the Charnock coefficient sent by the toy model (c) to Meso-NH (d). Differences are due to the interpolation method (SCRIPR BILINEAR LR SCALAR LATLON 1 for first line, SCRIPR DISTWGT LR SCALAR LATLON 1 4 for second line).
