NorESM Diagnostic Package:

... is a NorESM model evaluation tool written with a set of scripts (bash, NCL etc) to provide a general evaluation and quick preview of the model performance with only one command line.

Components:

  • CAM: (NCAR's AMWG Diagnostics Package)
  • CICE: snow/sea ice volume/area|
  • CLM: (CESM Land Model Diagnostics Package)
  • HAMOCC: time series, climaotology, zonal mean, regional mean
  • MICOM: time series, climatologies, zonal mean, fluxes, etc
# in your .bashrc
alias diag_run='/projects/NS2345K/noresm_diagnostics/
                bin/diag_run'

# run this wraper script without parameters shows basic usage
$ diag_run

For example:

  • Compare model (yrs 51-100) with observations
yanchun@tos-spw08:~$ diag_run --model=cam,cice,micom \
--case1=CASENAME1 \
--start_year1=51 \
--end_year1=100 \
--input-dir1=/PATH/TO/MODEL/FOLDER \
--output-dir=/PATH/TO/PUT/OUTPUT/DATA \
--web-dir=/PATH/TO/PUT/CREATED/WEBPAGES \
  • Compare model (yrs 51-100) with another model (yrs 1-50)
yanchun@tos-spw08:~$ diag_run --model=cam,cice,micom \
--case1=CASENAME1 \
--start_year1=51 \
--end_year1=100 \
--case2=CASENAME2 \
--start_year2=1 \
--end_year2=50 \
--input-dir1=/PATH/TO/MODEL/FOLDER1 \
--input-dir2=/PATH/TO/MODEL/FOLDER2 \
--output-dir=/PATH/TO/PUT/OUTPUT/DATA \
--web-dir=/PATH/TO/PUT/CREATED/WEBPAGES \
