Run the workflow

To run the workflow we need to configure it.

You will then need to edit the configuration to set up your job. Start by making a copy of the rose-suite.conf.example file called rose-suite.conf. This needs further amendments, which are done using rose edit, a GUI configuration tool. Within rose edit go through the sections under “suite conf” and fill in the config.

# Copy the example configuration.
cp rose-suite.conf.example rose-suite.conf
# Edit rose-suite.conf with the rose edit GUI.

  • The Diagnostic section contains settings for enabling the various diagnostics included with CSET. The diagnostics are split into science areas. Some general diagnostics will have a list in their section for setting which model fields to process. Diagnostics may also take additional options after being enabled.

  • The Models and Cases section contains settings for the input data. Here you need to setup how you want to cycle (over case studies or a trial period), how many models you want, and where to find the data for them.

  • The Setup section contains settings for controlling how CSET integrates with your compute environment and whole-workflow configuration for things like logging and housekeeping. This includes things like activating modules, and choosing a site profile.

Help text for each variable can be viewed by clicking on the variable’s name. Once you have configured CSET you can save and close rose edit.

To run the workflow, use cylc vip .. This submits the workflow to a cylc scheduler. You can view the job’s progress with the cylc GUI, accessible with the command cylc gui.

# Run workflow
cylc vip .
# View workflow progress and don't use & at the end to enable
# interactive mode. Ideally run the command in a separate terminal
# that you can minimise.
cylc gui

Once CSET has finished running you will receive an email containing a link to the output page.
