---|
| 46 | |
---|
| 47 | |
---|
| 48 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Starting from version 3.4 |
---|
| 49 | PALM allows coupled atmosphere-ocean model runs. By analogy with the |
---|
| 50 | modular structure of PALM, <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> |
---|
| 51 | starts the coupled model as two concurrent executables, the atmosphere |
---|
| 52 | version and the ocean version of PALM.</p> |
---|
| 53 | |
---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Currently, the coupler |
---|
| 56 | is at an experimental stage using a simple MPI2 intercommunicator that |
---|
| 57 | matches the atmosphere and ocean processors one-to-one. This approach |
---|
| 58 | has limited flexibility and performance, because it requires |
---|
| 59 | identical horizontal numerical grids and it uses the same number of |
---|
| 60 | atmosphere and ocean processors, which does not necessarily guarrantee |
---|
| 61 | a good load balancing.</p> |
---|
| 62 | |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
| 64 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The coupler establishes a |
---|
| 65 | one-way interaction between the |
---|
| 66 | atmosphere and the ocean. The atmosphere sends its bottom surface |
---|
| 67 | fluxes |
---|
| 68 | (temperature, humidity, momentum) to the ocean. The ocean sends its top |
---|
| 69 | surface temperature to the atmosphere. The atmosphere assumes |
---|
| 70 | saturation of humidity and zero wind speed at its bottom surface. For |
---|
| 71 | calculations with <a href="chapter_4.1.html#humidity">humidity</a> |
---|
| 72 | = .T. the atmospheric evaporation leads to a salinity flux in the ocean |
---|
| 73 | (see e.g. Steinhorn 1991, JPO 21, p. 1681).</p> |
---|
| 74 | |
---|
| 75 | |
---|
| 76 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">To start a |
---|
| 77 | coupled model run, |
---|
| 78 | this must be requested with the <b>mrun</b> option <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-Y</font>.</tt> |
---|
| 79 | This tells <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> |
---|
| 80 | to start two PALM executables. Coupled runs are only possible in |
---|
| 81 | parallel mode, which means that the <b>mrun</b> option <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-K parallel</font></tt> |
---|
| 82 | must also be set. The <b>mrun</b> call |
---|
| 83 | for coupled runs has to include the following coupling-related options: |

---|
| 96 | |
---|
| 97 | |
---|
| 98 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-X </font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">...</font><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"> </font></tt>option |
---|
| 99 | here specifies the total number of processors assigned to the coupled |
---|
| 100 | model. Half of them are assigned to each of the two coupled |
---|
| 101 | executables. Therefore it is advisable to specify an even number |
---|
| 102 | with <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-X </font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">...</font><tt> |
---|
| 103 | </tt>. Otherwise, in case of an odd total number of processors, |
---|
| 104 | one processor remains idle.</p> |
---|
| 105 | |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Each coupled executable has |
---|
| 108 | its own, unique set of I/O filenames; <a href="chapter_3.4.html#coupled">chapter 3.4</a> gives |
---|
| 109 | information on file name conventions of coupled runs. The configuration |
---|
| 110 | file .mrun.config has to be extended for coupled runs. It is |
---|
| 111 | recommended to duplicate existing file connection identifiers such as |
---|
| 112 | "d3#", "pr#" etc. using the coupled ocean filenames accordingly. For |
---|
| 113 | example, the example of the previous chapters could be |
---|
| 114 | duplicated as follows:</p> |
