  NERSC Directory Change Notice  

Due to project's name change at NERSC from 'ACME' to 'E3SM' and NERSC’s file system update, the directory  '/project/projectdirs/acme/' is now '/cfs/cdirs/e3sm'

  • E3SM V1

    • V1 uses topography on a GLL grid with a laplacing smoothing. The smoothing reduces the effective resolution of the topography from 2dx to 6.4dx. (effective resolution is determined by the first wavelength to be damped by 50% from the unsmoothed topography, computed via spherical harmonic spectra)

    • V1 only needs data on the GLL grid.

    • Tool chain: Topography generation for GLL grids Requires cube_to_target, homme_tool, and a SCRIP file for the grid.

    • V1 has poor treatment of topography and compensates in part with increased divergence damping.

  • E3SM V2

    • V2 needs topography on the GLL grid, and then a consistent topography on the PG2 grid (created with the same GLL->PG2 algorithm used internally)

    • V2 uses the same smoothing as V1: 50% damping of the 6.4dx wavelength.

    • Tool chain: Special Considerations for FV Physics Grids

    • V2 has improved topography treatment over V1 and will not . V2 configurations do not need to run with increased divergence damping.

  • E3SM V3

    • V2 V3 needs topography on the GLL grid, and then a consistent topography on the PG2 grid (created with the same GLL->PG2 algorithm used internally)

    • V3 has improved pressure gradient and viscosity treatment over V2 and will be using a significantly rougher topography.

    • This tool chain has not been finalized yet.
