Exercises in Idealised Configurations#
The aim of this practical is to gain experience in running and analysing an idealised configuration of LFRic-Atmosphere.
In this module you will learn about…
the purpose and key features of idealised atmospheric configurations
the structure and scientific motivation of an idealised cloud-resolving model configuration
copying, configuring, running, and monitoring an idealised workflow
designing sensitivity experiments by changing rotation, atmospheric composition, and initial perturbations
calculating derived diagnostics and processing unstructured-grid output for analysis
visualising and comparing three-dimensional idealised model output
At the end of this module you should be able to…
describe how an idealised configuration differs from an operational configuration and explain the purpose of the example cloud-resolving model
copy an idealised suite and configure its build, run, cycling, and parallel execution settings
run and monitor an idealised Cylc workflow
modify physical parameters to create experiments that test the effects of rotation, atmospheric composition, and initial perturbations
calculate derived thermodynamic diagnostics and reshape unstructured-grid output for analysis
produce plots and animations of three-dimensional fields and compare sensitivity experiments with a control simulation
