Benchmark Test Runs of v1.95

A series of benchmark runs are made for each release of the TIEGCM (since v1.94). Job scripts and namelist input files for these runs are available in subdirectories in the tests/ directory.

Netcdf files with the first history of each benchmark run are available in the data download file. These files can be used as start-up SOURCE files to reproduce the runs. The namelist input files and job scripts used to make the runs are provided in the tests/ directory of the release.

Following is a summary of benchmark runs made by TIEGCM version 1.95. For full history file output, steady-state start-up files, and “sanity check” plots of the benchmark runs made by version 1.95, please see Release Documentation

Control

control: 5-day control runs, started from steady-state histories at both equinoxes and both solstices, and at solar minimum and maximum conditions:

 mareqx: March Equinox (day 80)
 junsol: June Solstice (day 172)
 sepeqx: September Equinox (day 264)
 decsol: December Solstice (day 355)

* Solar Minimum::

   POWER   = 18.
   CTPOTEN = 30.
   F107    = 70.
   F107A   = 70.

* Solar Maximum::

   POWER   = 39.
   CTPOTEN = 60.
   F107    = 200.
   F107A   = 200.

Climatology

climatology: Full-year Climatology with constant solar forcing:

  • Heelis potential model with constant solar forcing:

    POWER   = 18.
    CTPOTEN = 30.
    F107    = 100.
    F107A   = 100.
