Grid-point Model dynamical CORE (GMCORE) is currently on the latitude-longitude grid, but we also plan to incorporate quasi-uniform grid as backup. The numerics are working on C-grid, with general terrain following vertical coordinate.
- Parallelization using MPI:
- 1D latitudional decomposition (done)
- 2D decomposition with asynchronized MPI communication (done)
- Optimize for X86 (~2025.10)
- Nesting at middle and low latitudes (~2021.11).
- Acceleration using GPU (~?).
- Baroclinic version (done).
- Hydrostatic baroclinic version (done)
- Rossby-Haurwitz wave test (done)
- Mountain induced wave test (done)
- Steady state test (done)
- Steady state PGF test (done)
- Baroclinic wave test (done)
- Held-Suarez test (done)
- Colliding Modons (done)
- Nonhydrostatic baroclinic version (done)
- X-Z version (done)
- Quasi-2D mountain wave on reduced sphere (done)
- Circular mountain wave on reduced sphere (done)
- Internal gravity wave (done)
- Splitting supercell (done)
- Hydrostatic baroclinic version (done)
- Advection module (done)
- Update with fully monotonicity in 3D (done)
- Incorporation with physics parameterisation (2025.05-2025.10).
- Data assimilation (~?).
First make sure you have installed netCDF library, and set NETCDF_ROOT environment variable to it. Then clone the repository:
$ git clone https://gitee.com/dongli85/GMCORE gmcore
$ cd gmcore
$ ./pull_libs.py
You could build the model by following:
$ cd build
$ FC=mpiifort cmake ..
$ make -j8
There is a Python script run_tests.py, which will clone the testbed repository, and run several tests, but it assumes MPI to be installed or SLURM job manager is available:
$ ./run_tests.py -w <work_directory> --slurm -q <job_queue> -n <process_number> --ntasks-per-node <n>
It will take some time to run the tests. When the tests are finished, cd to <work_directory>, and use some visualization tools, such as Panoply, to view the results.
