This directory contains the routines to interface DYNAMICO with the PCM physics packages (Mars, Venus...). There are two programs: - 'icosa_lmdz' to run the LMDZ-inherited PCM using a icosahedral grid (DYNAMICO). - 'icosa_newstart_lmdz' to run the LMDZ-inherited newstart (Mars only for now) using a icosahedral grid (DYNAMICO). A few comments on the newstart program: => Must be compiled like 'icosa_lmdz' (including full parallelization !). Just replace the executable name with 'icosa_newstart_lmdz'. (You can use and adapt pre-configured 'compile_newstart...' bash files) => Once the executable 'icosa_newstart_lmdz.exe' is built (bin folder), copy it into the setup folder where the starts to update are stored. => In the setup folder, make sure to update the .def files as follow: - in run_icosa.def: itaumax=1,dt=1.,itau_physics=1,iflag_sponge=0,start_file_name='start_icosa',restart_file_name='restart_icosa' - in callphys.def: outputs_per_sol=1 (Safety checks will raise an error if one of these has the wrong value) => In the setup folder, copy and adapt the 'launch_newstart' bash file (in the present folder). Launch it, newstart interface takes over (The interface should be the same as in the lonlat case, modulo the changes that are not yet implemented) NOTE: while the newstart program is compiled with the mpi_omp routines, one should not use more than one core to run it !!!
