Getting Started: Copying a Workflow for the Idealised Suite#

To begin working with the idealised suite, you first need to create your own copy of an existing workflow.

As introduced in the Global Modelling Practical, you can do this using the rosie command-line tool — see there for the difference between copying and checking out. As in the earlier practicals, copy the workflow rather than checking it out:

rosie copy u-dz791

# Alternatively, you can check out the workflow instead of copying it:
rosie checkout u-dz791
# or the short form
rosie co u-dz791

Important

These tutorials require you to be on a Cylc host.

rosie copy u-dz791

# Alternatively, you can check out the workflow instead of copying it:
rosie checkout u-dz791
# or the short form
rosie co u-dz791

Warning

“Other” means your own machine, or a system run by another institution (see Choosing your platform). This step cannot be completed there without local equivalents of the Met Office services it depends on: a supported LFRic build environment, repository access, shared ancillary data, and an HPC batch queue. The commands below are given so you can follow along and adapt them to your site, not because they will work unchanged.

rosie copy u-dz791

# Alternatively, you can check out the workflow instead of copying it:
rosie checkout u-dz791
# or the short form
rosie co u-dz791

The command reports the new suite ID it created, and the local copy it made under ~/roses. Make a note of that ID: the rest of this practical refers to it as <suite-id>.
