Exercises in Global Configurations#

The aim of this practical is to gain experience in editing, running, and analysing global configurations. You will:

In this module you will learn about…

  • copying a global configuration case and understanding its structure

  • editing configuration files to modify model settings and parameters

  • running global configuration experiments and monitoring their progress

  • navigating the run directory and locating key output files

  • creating and modifying diagnostic outputs for analysis

  • plotting model results and interpreting the outputs

  • designing and executing multi-configuration experiments

At the end of this module you should be able to…

  • copy an existing global configuration and set up a new experiment

  • edit configuration files to change model parameters, physics options, and domain settings

  • submit and run a global configuration case successfully

  • navigate the run directory structure and access model logs and diagnostics

  • identify and interpret key output files from model runs

  • create and customize diagnostic outputs for your science questions

  • plot and compare results from different model experiments

  • troubleshoot common issues in global configurations
