|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Starting from version 3.4 |
|---|
| 29 | PALM allows coupled atmosphere-ocean model runs. By analogy with the |
|---|
| 30 | modular structure of PALM, <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> |
|---|
| 31 | starts the coupled model as two concurrent executables, the atmosphere |
|---|
| 32 | version and the ocean version of PALM.</p> |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Currently, the coupler |
|---|
| 35 | is at an experimental stage using a simple MPI2 intercommunicator that |
|---|
| 36 | matches the atmosphere and ocean processors one-to-one. This approach |
|---|
| 37 | has limited flexibility and performance, because it requires |
|---|
| 38 | identical horizontal numerical grids and it uses the same number of |
|---|
| 39 | atmosphere and ocean processors, which does not necessarily guarrantee |
|---|
| 40 | a good load balancing.</p> |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The coupler establishes a |
|---|
| 43 | one-way interaction between the |
|---|
| 44 | atmosphere and the ocean. The atmosphere sends its bottom surface |
|---|
| 45 | fluxes |
|---|
| 46 | (temperature, humidity, momentum) to the ocean. The ocean sends its top |
|---|
| 47 | surface temperature to the atmosphere. The atmosphere assumes |
|---|
| 48 | saturation of humidity and zero wind speed at its bottom surface. For |
|---|
| 49 | calculations with <a href="chapter_4.1.html#humidity">humidity</a> |
|---|
| 50 | = .T. the atmospheric evaporation leads to a salinity flux in the ocean |
|---|
| 51 | (see e.g. Steinhorn 1991, JPO 21, p. 1681).</p> |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The full MPI-2 |
|---|
| 54 | standard must be available in order to use the coupling, and it must be |
|---|
| 55 | activated by adding the preprocessor directive <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-D__mpi2</font></tt> |
|---|
| 56 | to <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">cpp_options</font></tt> |
|---|
| 57 | in the .mrun.config configuration file. (Note: MPI-2 is |
|---|
| 58 | not available for the IBM-Regatta systems.) To start a |
|---|
| 59 | coupled model run, |
|---|
| 60 | this must be requested with the <b>mrun</b> option <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-Y</font>.</tt> |
|---|
| 61 | This tells <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> |
|---|
| 62 | to start two PALM executables. Coupled runs are only possible in |
|---|
| 63 | parallel mode, which means that the <b>mrun</b> option <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-K parallel</font></tt> |
|---|
| 64 | must also be set. The <b>mrun</b> call |
|---|
| 65 | for coupled runs has to include the following coupling-related options: |
|---|
| 66 | </p> |
|---|
| 67 | |
|---|
| 68 | <ul> |
|---|
| 69 | |

|---|
| 72 | |
|---|
| 73 | </ul> |
|---|
| 74 | |
|---|
| 75 | <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 |
|---|
| 76 | here specifies the total number of processors assigned to the coupled |
|---|
| 77 | model. Currently, half of them are assigned to each of the two coupled |
|---|
| 78 | executables. Therefore it is advisable to specify an even number |
|---|
| 79 | with <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-X </font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">...</font><tt> |
|---|
| 80 | </tt>. Otherwise, in case of an odd total number of processors, |
|---|
| 81 | one processor remains idle.</p> |
|---|
| 82 | |
|---|
| 83 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Each coupled executable has |
|---|
| 84 | its own, unique set of I/O filenames; <a href="chapter_3.4.html#coupled">chapter 3.4</a> gives |
|---|
| 85 | information on file name conventions of coupled runs. The configuration |
|---|
| 86 | file .mrun.config has to be extended for coupled runs. It is |
|---|
| 87 | recommended to duplicate existing file connection identifiers such as |
|---|
| 88 | "d3#", "pr#" etc. using the coupled ocean filenames accordingly. For |
|---|
| 89 | example, the example of the previous chapters could be |
|---|
| 90 | duplicated as follows:</p> |
