DYAMOND Winter#
Simulation Period:
20 January 2020 - 1 March 2020
with 10 day spin-up period and 30 days analysis period
Field Experiment:
Aligns with the EUREC4a field study.
Experiment:
Global atmosphere-only and coupled atmosphere-ocean models with a storm resolving grid spacing of 5 km or less.
Detailed information can be found in the DYAMOND Winter protocol (pdf).
Initial data for 20 Jan 2020 and SST + Sea ice boundary data is available from DKRZ, or from ECMWF using this request file.
Participating models and description#
The following models have participated in DYAMOND Winter:
Grid information#
Grid information
For several models, the grid information is not included in the output. Instead it can be found in a grid.nc file. You can find this grid file in the frequency directory fx/ of the directory structure of the data.
Use get_dyamond_winter MODEL.*grid to search for the grid file if needed. See the The DYAMOND Data Library page for more information on how to get the data.
To associate data with the grid information, cdo will need a -setgrid,GRIDFILENAME, e.g.
cdo -sellonlatbox,0,20,40,60 -setgrid,GRIDFILENAME INFILE OUTFILE
Getting the data#
Since the DYAMOND data sets form hundreds of terabytes of data, only parts are available on disk.
See the DYAMOND data library page for instructions on how to get access to the data.
Working with the data#
You are most invited to use our systems for analyzing the data (instead of copying them around).
Our post-processing project 1153 has some compute resources that can be used for analysis scripts.
Therefore, we recommend to store project data under /work/bb1153/<user-id>/ and use the temporary storage in your scratch folder /scratch/*/<user-id> for processing of large data sets.
For more information about the Levante file system, its quotas and backups, see The file systems of Levante (docs.dkrz.de).
