To install the base of test cases (before SURFEX 9.1.0)

The STRATO tests base is included in the GIT repository, in the directory STRATO/TESTS/

• 1. Choose two surfex versions ("old" and "new") to test

• 2. Choose a run directory, for example /home/username/run_base_test
  In this run directory, you need to link:
  • $SRC_SURFEX/MY_RUN/ECOCLIMAP/*.bin
  • executables for the old version of the SURFEX code to be compared: pgd_old.exe, prep_old.exe, soda_old.exe, offline_old.exe
  • executables for the new version of the SURFEX code to be compared: pgd_new.exe, prep_new.exe, soda_new.exe, offline_new.exe
  • In the run directory, copy the directory TESTS/ from the surfex GIT repository.

• 3. open and modify:
  • TESTS/PC/script_all.sh (on a standard PC) or TESTS/BEAUFIX/script_all.sh (on belenos): 3 first lines:
    dir_run="/home/username/run_base_test" (type your own rundir name)
    exec_new="_new" (type your own extension for new executables)
    exec_old="_old" (type your own extension for old executables)
  • TESTS/PYTHON/compR.cfg:
    verN="name of your new version, for output files"
    verO="name of your old version, for output files"
    basedir="/home/faroux/run_base_test/" (type your own rundir name)

    CAUTION: there must be a "/" at the end of basedir.

• 4. physiographic big files are not delivered with the test base. So you need to:
  1. download:
     gtopo30.dir & gtopo30.hdr, topo_index.dir & topo_index.hdr here,
     clay_fao.dir & clay_fao.hdr, sand_fao.dir & sand_fao.hdr, soc_top.dir & soc_top.hdr, soc_sub.dir & soc_sub.hdr here,
     sand_6layers_mean_int.tgz, clay_6layers_mean_int.tgz here,
     ECOCLIMAP_I_GLOBAL.dir & ECOCLIMAP_I_GLOBAL.hdr, ECOCLIMAP_II_EUROP.dir & ECOCLIMAP_II_EUROP.hdr (take latest versions and rename them), perm_glo_10km.dir & perm_glo_10km.hdr here,
     GlobalLakeDepth.dir & GlobalLakeDepth.hdr, GlobalLakeStatus.dir & GlobalLakeStatus.hdr, LAKE_LTA_NEW.nc here,
     etopo2.nc here.
  2. unzip all these files and put them in directory TESTS/PGD/FILES, except for LAKE_LTA_NEW.nc that you put in TESTS/PREP/FILES.
