MITgcm Tutorials: Difference between revisions

NOTE: These tutorials are obsolete. Please see Prof. Lamb or the Fluids git repo for current tutorial information

We have several tutorials for running the MITgcm.

This page needs to be updated to describe the current tutorials. The three shown here are obsolete.

Tutorial 1: Gravity wave. This is a good first introduction to MITgcm, and has some good points about troubleshooting the model.
Tutorial 2: External forcing and ice. This tutorial will introduce you to controlling ice and external forcing. It is a good starting point for running your own MITgcm cases with ice.
Tutorial 3: Open boundaries and other packages. This tutorial shows you how to use OBCS, pTracers, and shows the process of setting up a package from scratch.

For all tutorials it is assumed that you have followed the instructions to Setup the MITgcm.

The tutorials can be cloned with the command:

git clone gitlab@git.uwaterloo.ca:AppliedMath_fluids/MITgcm_Tutorials.git

It's easiest if you clone this into the MITgcm directory tree so that model will be able to find its source files when you compile it.
