Operational Modelling

Overview

This wiki intends to explain how operational models are set in the Mohid Maretec framework.

Before intending to put any model in operational, the model has to be strongly tested.

Folders Needed

In the folder where the model is going to be set up, it is needed to define the following generic folders:

• Backup
• GeneralData
• Logs
• Plots
• Work (only if atmospheric interpolation is needed)

Also a folder for the first level model will be defined, and it will contain the following subfolders:

• data
• exe
• figures
• res
• a folder with the name of the submodel in case it exist, this folder must replicate this same estructure

Input Data

For each of the different modelling levels, a set of typical input data for each of the modules have to be selected (model.dat, hydrodynamic.dat, waterproperties.dat, turbulence.dat, etc.) also a set of hdf5 final files (.fin) for the hydrodynamic, GOTM and waterproperties in case they exist.

Atmospheric forcing

If the model have interpolated atmospheric forcing data for the particular gridded data, a location should be provided. In the case that it need to be calculated, a folder named work should be included with the configuratino files and programs. Atmospherical forcing conditions can be provided by different sources: GFS, MM5 and WRF.
