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: 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: Full-year Climatology with constant solar forcing:
Heelis potential model with constant solar forcing:
POWER = 18. CTPOTEN = 30. F107 = 100. F107A = 100.
