############################################################################# # # # ww3_tp2.15 Test script for WW-III, space-time extremes parameters # # Simulation of wave-growth in Adriatic Sea # # # # Prerequisites : # # -netCDF4 librairies must be installed and NETCDF variables setup # # # # Remarks : # # Requires NETCDF parameter to be exported # # e.g., export NETCDF_CONFIG=`which nc-config` # # # # Description # # Test case is for wind-wave growth in the Adriatic Sea near the ISMAR # # research platform Acqua Alta, where space-time extremes measurements # # have been performed. Model outputs include space-time extremes # # parameters as follows: # # STMAXE MXE Max surface elev (STE) # # STMAXD MXES St Dev of max surface elev (STE) # # HMAXE MXH Max wave height (STE) # # HCMAXE MXHC Max wave height from crest (STE) # # HMAXD SDMH St Dev of MXC (STE) # # HCMAXD SDMHC St Dev of MXHC (STE) # # # # Wind data for this test case was produced by the COSMO-ME model, and have # # been provided by CNMCA (National Meteorological Service, Rome, Italy). # # # # Additionally, two wind stress-driven tests with variable air density # # field are included. 1. The first test is wind-driven, but it is included # # to check that the stress is properly read, interpolated, and written to # # the output regardless of the FLX used. 2. The second test uses FLX5 # # switch. This is used to drive the wave model with atmospheric wind stress # # and density for consistency. FLX5 enables the direct use of atmospheric # # wind stress by ST4 and ST6 source terms. # # Wind stress and density data were provided by the Met Office by modifying # # the wind data used to run the wind-driven test. # # # # Model results are presented here for the purpose of testing # # the formulations of space-time extreme parameters. This regression test # # oversimplifies real-case bathymetry and wind fields, thus comparison with # # measurements are merely qualitative. # # # # Sample run_test commands : # # ./bin/run_test -o netcdf ../model ww3_tp2.15 # # # # Options # # Run on MPI mode # # ./bin/run_test -n 16 -p mpirun -s MPI -f -w work_MPI ../model ww3_tp2.15 # # # # Full resolution (5km grid) and entire Adriatic Sea.
