UKCA Box Model - Version 1
The UKCA Box Model is a set of wrapper code which allow the running of the UKCA code base, taken directly from the repository trunk, independently of the UM as if running the chemistry and aerosol code over a single grid cell. The box model is designed to be used primarily for development and testing purposes - due to it's simple design it can quickly compiled and run on a single core in minutes, making debugging of changes to the core chemistry routines substantially faster than on the 3D model. The model has been tested to run in three broad modes, currently it only works with chemical mechanisms which utilise the ASAD framework:
- Chemistry only, using StratTrop or CRI-Strat chemical mechanisms
- GLOMAP Aerosol with offline oxidents
- Coupled online chemistry-aerosol, using GLOMAP-MODE aerosol and StratTrop or CRI-Strat chemical mechanisms.
As well as use for development and testing, the box model is an integral part of the broader UKCA development strategy, as part of the ExCALIBUR ['LINK'] project, to enable the wholesale movement of the UKCA code base out of the UM into a seperpate repository. This transfer is occurring as part of the changes being made for UM vn13.0, Ticket #6717.
Overview
The source code for the box model can be found as a branch of the UKCA repository - in time these will merged into a single trunk which contains the UKCA source code and code to run the box model. The latest (10 May 2022) working branch can be found at:
This branch is designed to run with the first iteration of the UKCA repository, which can be found:
The build options are defined in the file fcm_make/inc/ukca-box-common.cfg; UKCA files/directories used for the build are defined under extract.path-incl[ukca] =
Files defined in the directory src/control/box_control are the box model code wrapping the core UKCA code. The UKCA code based is those under the sections src/control/core and src/science. Currently, the box model still has dependencies on the full UM code base (defined by extract.path-incl[um]). These will be removed and replaced with appropriate replications of functionalism not currently called.
Compiling and Running
Virtual Machine
The UKCA box model was developed to run on the Virtual Machine framework:
