This page details porting efforts of various UKCA configurations from the MONSooN ibm02 system to the xcml00 system.

Some central information can be found here: http://collab.metoffice.gov.uk/twiki/bin/view/Support/CrayUMInstall

vn8.4 GA4.0 UKCA CheST+GLOMAP-mode RJ4.0

As this job is already configured to run on ARCHER, there were no code changes required.

Additional changes to note are:

  • DATADIR currently needs to be manually set
  • Note the move to site based directories: e.g. /projects/ukca-cam/nlabra
  • The shared inputs directory is now under ukca-admin: /projects/ukca-admin/inputs
  • Pre-compiled builds should be turned off, and the location of the reconfiguration executable needs to be set.
