Both the coupled and uncoupled CSIM require a minimum of three files to run:
- global_${ICE_GRID}.grid is a binary file containing
grid information and is renamed
data.domain.grid
when it is copied to the executable directory.
- global_${ICE_GRID}.kmt is a binary file containing
land mask information and is renamed
data.domain.kmt.
- iced.0001-01-01.${ICE_GRID}.20lay or
iced.0001-01-01.gx3v5.040213 are binary files containing
initial condition information for the gx1v3 and gx3v5 grids,
respectively. The thickness distribution in this
restart file contains 5 categories, each with 4 layers.
Depending on the grid selected in the scripts, the appropriate global*
and iced* files will be copied and renamed in the executable directory.
Currently, only gx3v5 and gx1v3 grids are supported for the ice and ocean
models.
An additional data file is necessary to use the ocean mixed layer within the
ice model, depending on the specified grid:
- pop_frc_gx1v3_010815.nc contains monthly averaged ocean forcing
from POP output.
- pop_frc_gx3v5_040212.nc same as above, but for the gx3v5 grid.
This file is renamed oceanmixed_ice.nc when it is copied into the executable
directory.
