UKESM1 configurations

Nesting Suite

An offline-oxidants + GLOMAP-mode configuration of UKCA can be run in the UM nesting suite. Further details can be found on the Met Office RMED pages.

This can be run in the nesting suite from UMvn11.4 onwards:

UMvn7.3 configurations

  • CCMI-type simulations (CheS+ chemistry). Suites are available on Monsoon2 and ARCHER:
    • ARCHER: e.g. xohfa
    • Monsoon2: e.g. xokze
    • NOTE: these jobs are slightly different to the CCMI jobs submitted to the archive, so they should NOT be used as is. Please contact Luke Abraham and ask for further information if you want to use them.

UMvn8.4 configurations

  • StratTrop+CLASSIC jobs:
    • xkolk - copy of RJ4.0 but with GLOMAP removed and CLASSIC used instead (offline oxidants). UKCA trace gases NOT used in radiation.
    • xkoln - copy of RJ4.0 but with GLOMAP removed and CLASSIC used instead (offline oxidants). UKCA trace gases ARE used in radiation.
