These are multi-page PDF files, arranged as follows: * Files with "singleut" in their names contain instantaneous maps and slices * Files with "utvert" in their names contain ut vs pressure plots (daily or hourly histories) * Files with "utlat" in their names contain ut vs latitude plots (daily or hourly histories) Instantaneous and time series plots for **all** fields ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ **All** fields are: | 'TN','UN','VN','WN','O2','O1','N2','NO','N4S','HE','NE','TE','TI','TEC','O2P','OP', | 'POTEN','UI_ExB','VI_ExB','WI_ExB','DEN','QJOULE','HMF2','NMF2','Z' At 5-degree model resolution: * :benchmarks_url:`Climatology Benchmark Runs at 5.0-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Seasonal Benchmark Runs at 5.0-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Storm Case Benchmark Runs at 5.0-deg resolution ` At 2.5-degree model resolution: * :benchmarks_url:`Climatology Benchmark Runs at 2.5-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Seasonal Benchmark Runs at 2.5-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Storm Case Benchmark Runs at 2.5-deg resolution ` Instantaneous and time series plots for **selected** fields ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ **Selected** fields are: | 'TN','UN','VN','WN','HE','NE','TE','TI','HMF2','NMF2','POTEN','Z' At 5-degree model resolution: * :benchmarks_url:`Climatology Benchmark Runs at 5.0-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Seasonal Benchmark Runs at 5.0-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Storm Case Benchmark Runs at 5.0-deg resolution ` At 2.5-degree model resolution: * :benchmarks_url:`Climatology Benchmark Runs at 2.5-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Seasonal Benchmark Runs at 2.5-deg resolution ` * :benchmarks_url:`Storm Case Benchmark Runs at 2.5-deg resolution ` Namelist input files used for the 2.5-deg benchmark runs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These are the namelist input files used for making the 2.5-degree resolution benchmark runs. Note that a few of the 2.5-deg runs need to be run at a shorter timestep than the default of 30 seconds to maintain numerical stability. Also note that the 5-degree full-year climatology run can be completed on |ncarsuper| in 12 hours WC, but the 2.5-deg model has to be restarted several times to reach a full year. * Climatology Benchmark Runs (full-year): * :download:`Solar max climatology <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_climatology_smax.inp>` * :download:`Solar min climatology <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_climatology_smin.inp>` * Seasonal Benchmark Runs (5-day runs): * :download:`December solstice solar max <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_decsol_smax.inp>` * :download:`December solstice solar min <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_decsol_smin.inp>` * :download:`June solstice solar max <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_junsol_smax.inp>` * :download:`June solstice solar min <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_junsol_smin.inp>` * :download:`March equinox solar max <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_mareqx_smax.inp>` * :download:`March equinox solar min <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_mareqx_smin.inp>` * :download:`September equinox solar max <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_sepeqx_smax.inp>` * :download:`September equinox solar min <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_sepeqx_smin.inp>` * Storm Simulations: * :download:`December, 2006 storm (Heelis/gpi) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_dec2006_heelis_gpi.inp>` * :download:`December, 2006 storm (Weimer/gpi,imf) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_dec2006_weimer_imf.inp>` * :download:`July, 2000 storm (Heelis/gpi) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_jul2000_heelis_gpi.inp>` * :download:`July, 2000 storm (Weimer/gpi,imf) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_jul2000_weimer_imf.inp>` * :download:`November, 2003 storm (Heelis/gpi) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_nov2003_heelis_gpi.inp>` * :download:`November, 2003 storm (Weimer/gpi,imf) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_nov2003_weimer_imf.inp>` * :download:`2008 Whole Heliosphere Interval (Heelis/gpi) <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_whi2008_heelis_gpi.inp>` * :download:`2008 Whole Heliosphere Interval (Weimer/gpi,imf <_static/namelist_files/tiegcm2.0_res2.5_whi2008_weimer_imf.inp>` .. _benchmark_history_files: Model Output History Files of the |tgcm_version| Benchmark runs --------------------------------------------------------------- Model output history files are stored in CF-compliant netCDF format. Benchmark history files for |tgcm_version| are available via the `Globus Research Data Sharing Service `_. The history files are stored at the "NCAR Data Sharing Service" :term:`Globus` shared endpoint. (for users with an NCAR/CISL login: this endpoint is /glade/u/datashare/tgcm) See these CISL docs for information regarding the NCAR Data Sharing Service: * `NCAR Data Sharing Service `_ * `Globus file transfers `_ (see especially "Transferring files with the webh interface") * `Retreiving data from a shared endpoint `_ Here is a summary procedure for accessing the |tgcm_version| benchmark data: .. note:: You do *NOT* need to have an NCAR user account or token to retrieve this data. * You must have or create a `Globus `_ account. If your institution/organization has a Globus data sharing endpoint, you can use your institutional authorization to login to Globus. Otherwise, you can create a `Globus personal account `_ to transfer files to your personal laptop or desktop computer. * Log in to your Globus account, and click on "File Transfer" * To reach the NCAR/TIEGCM source endpoint, click in the "Endpoint" text box on the left, and type "TIEGCM v2.0". It should retrieve directory contents, and show a "benchmarks" folder. * Next, establish your destination endpoint on the right. This is either your institutional endpoint, or the username of your personal Globus login. * Select the locations/files you want to download from the left side, and the destination location on the right, then click the right arrow at the top to begin the transfer. Here's a screen shot of a Globus file transfer from the TIEGCM v2.0 endpoint to my personal Macbook Pro: :download:`Globus_screenshot.png <_static/globus_screenshot.png>` In each of the 6 benchmark groups are folders for each run, with folders containing the history files (hist), post-processing (proc), and scripts and log files (stdout). Individual files or whole directories can be downloaded.
