The purpose of this task is to create a regionally-refined test case for the ACME model.  The refined area covers the continental United States (CONUS) and has the same resolution as the target resolution of the ACME model, 1/4-degree or ne120.   The low resolution area covers the remainder of the globe and is 1-degree, or ne30.  This configuration will enable developers wishing to see how their parameterization performs in high-resolution without having to run at global high-resolution.   This configuration can be used when set-up as a new case by the user.  See How to run the regionally refined model (RRM) for information on how to run with this configuration.   Verification, performance testing, and validation are in progress.
 

Requirements

Requirement: RRM CONUS case configuration

Date last modified:  
Contributors: Erika Roesler Mark Taylor

Grid, initial condition, and boundary condition files were uploaded to ACME data repository.  A new case was developed on a feature branch and merged to master.

Each requirement is to be listed under a ”section” heading, as there will be a one-to-one correspondence between requirements, design, proposed imple- mentation and testing. Requirements should not discuss technical software issues, but rather focus on model capability. To the extent possible, require- ments should be relatively independent of each other, thus allowing a clean design solution, implementation and testing plan.

For each requirement, there is a design solution that is intended to meet that requirement. Design solutions can include detailed technical discussions of PDEs, algorithms, solvers and similar, as well as technical discussion of performance issues. In general, this section should steer away from a detailed discussion of low-level software issues such as variable declarations, interfaces and sequencing.

Grid file was generated and approved by ACME Atmos group.  From this grid file the initial and boundary condition files were generated.   The new case was then configured. 

 

Design and Implementation

This section should detail the plan for implementing the design solution for requirement XXX. In general, this section is software-centric with a focus on software implementation. Pseudo code is appropriate in this section. Links to actual source code are appropriate. Project management items, such as svn branches, timelines and staffing are also appropriate. How do we typeset pseudo code?

 

Planned Verification and Unit Testing 

Verification and Unit Testing:

Test CONUS case on other ACME-supported machines

How will XXX be tested? i.e. how will be we know when we have met requirement XXX. Will these unit tests be included in the ongoing going forward?

Members of this group downloaded the feature branch and tested the case on their institutional clusters.  If the case ran for the specified time, then this test and requirement was considered successful.   A unit test for the RRM CONUS case in under consideration.
