A Simple User Guides for NESM-BGC A Simple User Guides for NESM-BGC Yifei Dai [email protected], [email protected] February, 2018 Earth System Modeling Center (ESMC) Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology(NUIST) 1 Getting start with NESM-BGC The NESM is referred to Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology(NUIST) Earth System Model (ESM). The BGC version of the NESM (NESM-BGC) is based on the NESM v1, the component model, model structure and coupling strategy are described in Cao et al. (2015). It was established with the atmospheric model ECHAM v5.3, ocean model NEMO v3.4, sea ice model CICE v4.1 and coupler 3 of the Ocean-Atmosphere-Sea-Ice-Soil Model Coupling Toolkit (OASIS3.0-MCT3). It is aiming to provide a numerical modeling platform for cross-disciplinary earth system studies, project future Earth’s climate and environment changes, as well conduct subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction. This goal of this manual is targeted at introducing the technical aspect in compile and running the NESM v3 model. Here we will discuss the necessary environment settings, forcing data, model compile settings and job scripts in performing the coupled experiments. The model structure description can be referring to Cao et al. (2015), and the component model and coupler descriptions are introduced in Roeckner et al. (2003) Madec and NEMO team(2012), Hunke and Lipscomb(2010) and Craig et al. (2017), and the references are also provided in this folder. 2 1. Model source code and input data The current version of model source code and data are provided with Zenodo link with the purpose of NESM-BGC manuscript review. In future, the code and data will be available at NUIST data server center, which is in the process. The model code is named as NESM-BGC.tar.gz and shared by Zenodo, you can download and unpack the model by tar –xzvf NESM-BGC.tar.gz. The unpacked model folder included 3 subdirectories: Linux, run, src, and data. o Linux: contains compiled executable files of each component model and related libraries. o Run: includes compile settings and run scripts o Src: includes component model and coupler code o Data: includes required input data In Run folder, there are three sub-folders, compile and script. Compile: includes the environment settings for the model compile Scirpt: includes the running script Here we won’t introduce the install of libraries as mentioned in previous section. And the model compile and run examples are based on University of Hawaii High Performance Computer (UHHPC). The information of UHHPC can be available at http://www.hawaii.edu/its/ci/hpc-uh-information-technology-services/. 2. Environments setup 3 Before compiling the model, the following library is necessary: 1. Intel compiler 2. SLIB and Zlib 3. HDF5 library 4. NETCDF library with the version higher than v4.1.3 Before compile the model, you have to load the right compilers and the setup the libraries ###### compiler for NESMv3 ######### module purge module load intel/ics intel/impi . /opt/intel/composerxe/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64 ###### Libraries for NESMv3 ######### export NETCDF=/home/jiancao/tools/intel export NETCDF_LIB=$NETCDF/lib export NETCDF_INC=$NETCDF/include export PATH=$NETCDF/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NETCDF_LIB:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_RUN_PATH=$NETCDF_LIB:$LD_RUN_PATH export LD_INCLUDE_PATH=$NETCDF_INC:$LD_INCLUDE_PATH 3. Configure and compile model code Download the code and data, and then unpack the file: cd $Yourdir tar –xzvf NESM-BGC.tar.gz Then, you can start to compile the coupled model. Go to the compile folder and edit the folder and library information. cd NESM-BGC/run/compile vi make.env 4 There are serval settings should be modified by user. Line 7 is the current main folder of model code. The MPI, NETCDF, HDF5, SLIB and ZLIB are specified between line 9 and line 34. Please modify the ROOT directory of each library to your HPC settings. Then save the settings in make.env. To compile coupled model: make nuist The compile error and log information can be found in COMP.err and COMP.log under this folder. If there is no error in COMP.err, which means you successfully compiled the coupled model. Additionally, the ocean component model need a tool to combine the restart files since there are wrote at each computing cores. The ‘REBUILD’ tool is located in $Yourdir/NESM-BGC/src/modelsrc/cploce/NEMO-OASIS3-MCT/TOOLS. It can be set up in two steps. a) Compile: 5 cd $Yourdir/NESM-BGC/src/modelsrc/cploce/NEMO‐OASIS3‐MCT/TOOLS ./maketools ‐m ifort_linux ‐n REBUILD b) Add the path in bashrc export PATH=$Yourdir/NESM- BGC/src/modelsrc/cploce/NEMO‐OASIS3‐MCT/TOOLS/REBUILD:$PATH Now the compling process is finished!!! There are several option in clean the compiled information: Make realclean : Clean all compiled information for the whole coupled system. Make cleanecham: clean the AGCM compiled information Make cleannemol: clean the OGCM compiled information Make cleancice: clean the AGCM compiled information Make clean: clean the coupler compiled information 4. Run model 4.1 Setup the experiment We will introduce the input data structure before running a job. The input data is in the same directory of model code. You can find it in cd $Yourdir/NESM-BGC/data There are five sub‐folders in this directory, which include the input file of AGCM, OGCM, Sea ice model, ocean biogeochemical model, and the coupler; in additional the restart file and greenhouse gas data is also provided in data and restart_pi 6 The echam5, cice, NEMO and OASIS folder include the atmospheric model, ocean model and sea ice model and OASIS coupler input files. The PISCES folder contains the ocean biogeochemical input files Here we provide 1 script to perform the 1% CO2 experiment. The first section of the script is the job system and HPC settings, they could be different in difference HPC. Here, we used the UHHPC as the example, and the steps as following: The second section of the script is the experiment setting, as shown following: 7 The information in the first two sections could be modified by the users, while the rest of script is no need for modification. 4.2 Submit job: Type 8 sbatch 1%test 5. Plot model results The ocean and sea ice output NESM model are nc files, while one step is necessary to convert the AGCM output to nc file, which is the same as ECHAM6 model post process procedure. The afterburner tool can be download at https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/afterburner.

  • A Destabilizing Thermohaline Circulation–Atmosphere–Sea Ice
    642 JOURNAL OF CLIMATE VOLUME 12 NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE A Destabilizing Thermohaline Circulation±Atmosphere±Sea Ice Feedback STEVEN R. JAYNE MIT±WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts JOCHEM MAROTZKE Center for Global Change Science, Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 18 November 1996 and 9 March 1998 ABSTRACT Some of the interactions and feedbacks between the atmosphere, thermohaline circulation, and sea ice are illustrated using a simple process model. A simpli®ed version of the annual-mean coupled ocean±atmosphere box model of Nakamura, Stone, and Marotzke is modi®ed to include a parameterization of sea ice. The model includes the thermodynamic effects of sea ice and allows for variable coverage. It is found that the addition of sea ice introduces feedbacks that have a destabilizing in¯uence on the thermohaline circulation: Sea ice insulates the ocean from the atmosphere, creating colder air temperatures at high latitudes, which cause larger atmospheric eddy heat and moisture transports and weaker oceanic heat transports. These in turn lead to thicker ice coverage and hence establish a positive feedback. The results indicate that generally in colder climates, the presence of sea ice may lead to a signi®cant destabilization of the thermohaline circulation. Brine rejection by sea ice plays no important role in this model's dynamics. The net destabilizing effect of sea ice in this model is the result of two positive feedbacks and one negative feedback and is shown to be model dependent. To date, the destabilizing feedback between atmospheric and oceanic heat ¯uxes, mediated by sea ice, has largely been neglected in conceptual studies of thermohaline circulation stability, but it warrants further investigation in more realistic models.

  • 3. CICE-Mixed Layer Model 4. Mixed Layer/ Sea Ice Results 5. Surface
    The ocean mixed layer, buoyancy fluxes, and sea ice over the Antarctic continental shelf Alek Petty1, Daniel Feltham2 & Paul Holland3 1. Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, Department of Earth Sciences, UCL, London, WC1E6BT 2. Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, Department of Meteorology, Reading University, Reading, RG6 6BB 2. British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Cambridge, CB3 0ET A sea ice-mixed layer model has been used to investigate regional variations in the surface-driven formation of Antarctic shelf sea waters. The model captures well the expected sea ice thickness distribution, and produces deep mixed layers in the Weddell and Ross shelf seas each winter (1985-2011). By deconstructing the surface power input to the mixed layer, we have shown that the salt/fresh water flux from sea ice growth/melt dominates the evolution of the mixed layer in all shelf sea regions, with a smaller contribution from the mixed layer-surface heat flux. An analysis of the sea ice mass balance has demonstrated the contrasting mean ice growth, melt and export in each region. The Weddell and Ross shelf seas expereince the highest annual ice growth, with a large fraction of this ice exported northwards each year, whereas the Bellingshausen shelf sea experiences the highest annual ice melt, despite the low annual ice growth. Cur- rent work (not shown) is focussed on atmospheric forcing trends and the resultant trends in the sea ice and mixed layer evolution using both ERA-I hindcast forcing and hadGEM2 future climate projections. 1. Introduction The continental shelf seas surround- ing Antarctica are a crucial compo- nent of the Earth’s climate system, with the Weddell and Ross (WR) shelf seas cooling and ventilating the deep ocean and feeding the global thermohaline circulation, whereas the warm waters in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen (AB) shelf seas (see Figure 1) are implicit in the recent ocean-driven melting of the Antarctic ice sheet.

  • Test Plan: CICE Sea Ice Model for NGGPS
    Test Plan: CICE Sea Ice Model for NGGPS Final 16 March 2016 POC: Shan Sun – NOAA ESRL/GSD/GMTB – [email protected] ​ Introduction After reviewing several sea ice models at the Sea Ice Workshop organized by Global Modeling Test Bed (GMTB) in February 2016, the committee has selected the Los Alamos Community Ice CodE (CICE) as the sea ice model to be ​ incorporated as a component of Next-Generation Global Prediction System ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (NGGPS). The GMTB is proposing to carry out testing and evaluations with this model in two phases as the next step. Testing framework Hebert et al. (2015) showed that the Arctic Cap Nowcast/Forecast System ​ (ACNFS) demonstrated a high level of skill compared to persistence in 1-7 day forecasts over a period of one year. ACNFS uses CICE version 4.0 [Hunke and Lipscomb, 2008] as the sea ice model two-way coupled to the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) [Bleck, 2002; Metzger et al., 2014, 2015]. Building on this study, we propose to base the test on a similar configuration. In order to make the test most relevant for NGGPS, there will be three important differences with respect to the Herbert et al. (2015) configuration. First, CICE will be upgraded to its latest version v5, [in which both the code structure and the state variables are similar to v4. The CICE5 code does include a number of new physics options such as the mushy-layer thermodynamics and two new melt pond parameterizations.] V5.1.2 is available at http://oceans11.lanl.gov/svn/CICE/tags/release-5.1.2.

  • Recent and Future Development of the US Navy Numerical Weather Prediction Systems
    Recent and Future Development of the US Navy Numerical Weather Prediction Systems Melinda Peng Marine Meteorology Division Naval Research Laboratory Monterey, CA 93943 Abstract The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is responsible for developing, transitioning, and maintaining the Navy’s numerical weather prediction systems that provide a unique environmental prediction capability demanded by the warfighters. The current NRL modeling suites consist of 1) the NAVy Global Environmental Model (NAVGEM); 2) the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS®); 3) NRL Atmospheric Variational Data Assimilation System–Accelerated Representer (NAVDAS-AR), an observation space 4DVar for NAVGEM , and NRL Atmospheric Variational Data Assimilation System (NAVDAS), a 3DVar for COAMPS, respectively. NRL recently added a hybrid data assimilation capability to include the flow-dependent background error information for global data assimilation. The COAMPS 4DVar has been developed to replace the COAMPS 3DVar for mesoscale data assimilation. COAMPS has been coupled in a two-way interactive sense to the NRL Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) and the SWAN and WWIII wave models using the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF). Additional capabilities under development include a fully coupled sea ice model (Los Alamos CICE) capability and an integrated hydrological modeling component for high-resolution COAMPS coastal applications. The tropical cyclone system, COAMPS-TC, was transitioned to Navy operations in 2013, one of the top performing dynamical models worldwide for tropical cyclone intensity prediction. In 2016, a fully coupled version of COAMPS-TC coupled with NCOM has been implemented in operations. NRL is developing a fully coupled global extended-range prediction system including the Navy Global Environmental Model (NAVGEM), the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE), and the Wavewatch III ocean surface wave model as part of the national Earth System Prediction Capability (ESPC).

  • Sea Ice Modelling
    Sea ice modelling Danny Feltham Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling University of Reading UK Sea ice models Sea ice models are formulated as continuum expressions of local balances of momentum, mass, and heat, which are mediated through various processes. In practise, sea ice processes are divided into: • Dynamic processes, which control the motion of ice cover, deformation, and redistribution of thickness. Example processes are air and ocean drag, ridging, sliding, and rupture (rheology). • Thermodynamic processes, which control melting, freezing, and dissolving. Example processes are thermal conduction, brine convection, and solar radiation absorption. • Dynamic and thermodynamic processes are typically closely connected. • Many of these processes are represented in models with parameterisations, simplified mathematical representations designed to capture their major features and work within the technical constraints of the models. A sea ice lead, formed in divergence, results in rapid new ice growth. An ice cover in decline Ice is thinning Ice extent is decreasing 4.0 8 1958 - 1976 1993 - 1997 3.5 2003 - 2007 7 3.0 2.5 ) 2 6 km 6 2.0 5 1.5 1.0 Ice extent (10 Average ice thickness (m) 4 0.5 0.0 3 1978 1983 1988 1993 1998 2003 2008 2013 A B C D E F G Particularly around the periphery Ice is getting younger Alaska Future sea ice modelling needs – but what for? • Climate prediction - Coupled models with spin up period Models must account for future conditions. - Low resolution (but improving) Hitherto marginal processes may assume - Computational constraints primacy, e.g. wave breaking of ice. - Data assimilation not possible - Variability: predict statistics of ice cover and not actual ice cover • Ice “weather” prediction - Forced sea ice models Importance of local processes, e.g.
