UKCA Chemistry and Aerosol Tutorials at UMvn13.0

You will need to have the details of your MOSRS account and VM connection details to hand.

Before you begin the UKCA Tutorials

You should be comfortable using a GNU/Linux operating system, including using and navigating around using a terminal. You should also be familiar with programming, ideally Fortran. You do NOT need to be familiar with using PUMA, Monsoon2, or ARCHER2.

For these tutorials it is helpful if you familiar with FCM, and training on this can be found here (with further information on useful commands below):

http://metomi.github.io/fcm/doc/

The UM FCM tutorial that is linked from this page uses the old user interface (the "UMUI"), so will be less relevant here.

You should also familiarise yourself with Rose & Cylc, and more information on these can be found here:

https://cms.ncas.ac.uk/rose-cylc/

The Met Office provide some on-line UM specific Rose training here:

https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/doc/um/latest/um-training/index.html (MOSRS password required)

Accounts

To run these tutorials you will need


which will then allow you to run the tutorials in a Virtual Machine.

Note that using some special characters in your MOSRS password, particularly the % and £ symbols, have issues on the virtual machine used for training. If you believe your password may have issues you can perform a password reset here.

Developing code for the UM

During this tutorial you will be creating tickets on the Met Office Science Repository Service, and making code changes to UM branches. Please note that this is a live system, used by scientists all over the world to develop their code. However, please don't worry about breaking anything, as there are practices in place to prevent this.

For more information about developing for the UM, please see the Working Practices for UM Development with Rose, FCM and trac.

Useful commands

These fcm commands are useful when working with UM branches and Rose suites. You may need to have cached your MOSRS account for these commands to work correctly, e.g. by running 

mosrs-cache-password

which you will need to do usually once per day.

fcm info

This gives you basic information about your suite/branch, which is useful for commands later:

If you are using a system with an fcm mirror, e.g. ARCHER2 or Monsoon2, you will need to wait a few minutes after committing your changes before trying to compile them. This is not necessary on the VM, but for these HPC systems, the command 

[09:51:21 hadlk@xcslc0 ~]$ fcm info fcm:um.xm
Path: main
URL: file:///home/d04/fcm/srv/svn/um.xm/main

will tell you the last time the mirror was synced. You must ensure that the Last Changed Rev is equal to or greater than the revision number of your last commit.

fcm diff

This command can be used to tell you the differences from

  1. Your current working changes and the last committed revision
  2. Two different revisions that have been committed, from either the same suite/branch or different suite/branches

Here we look at changes in a working copy.

You can also add the -g flag which will open the differences in a separate graphical viewer, usually tkdiff on the VM, although it may be xxdiff on other platforms.

Here we look at differences between two different revisions of the same branch. Note that the URL used is the same as that found with the fcm info command.

As Rose suites are also held in fcm branches, the same commands work with these. Here we diff the most recent revision of u-ca021 with a particular revision of u-ca024.

fcm status

This command tells you the difference files that have been changed in your working copy compared to the last committed revision. 

vagrant@vagrant:~/src/vn11.8_UKCA_Tutorial_Solns$ fcm status
M       src/atmosphere/UKCA/ukca_constants.F90

fcm revert

USE THIS COMMAND WITH CARE

You can undo changes in a working copy file, putting them back to the last committed version, with this command: 

vagrant@vagrant:~/src/vn11.8_UKCA_Tutorial_Solns$ fcm revert src/atmosphere/UKCA/ukca_constants.F90
Reverted 'src/atmosphere/UKCA/ukca_constants.F90'
vagrant@vagrant:~/src/vn11.8_UKCA_Tutorial_Solns$ fcm diff
vagrant@vagrant:~/src/vn11.8_UKCA_Tutorial_Solns$

Be careful with this command, as it will remove all the changes that you have made in that file.

UKCA Training Suite

Machine UM Version/Configuration Suite ID Comments
vm UMvn13.0 UKCA Box Model u-cq774 UKCA Box Model equivalent to UM version 13.0
vm vn13.0 N48L38 GNU Compiler: UKCA StratTrop u-cq986 UM-UKCA testing suite at UM version 13.0

These suites are based on the um_n48_ukca_eg app, which is available in the MetUM trunk (in rose-stem/app/). A ticket giving more details on these (and the code changes) can be found at: um:#3578.

NCAS-provided VMs

If you have been provided a VM for the NCAS training course, Iris will have been installed for you using miniconda, and can be accessed by first using the command 

pyterm

The command 

pylab

has also been provided to give you an iPython environment which has been defined with the following alias 

ipython --pylab --logfile=ipython-`date +\"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S\"`.py"

so that the standard pylab additions have been included, along with logging of your python commands. You can then use 

import iris

within this ipython environment.

Xconv and cf-view have also been installed, and can be accessed with the 

xconv

or 

convsh

and/or 

cfview

commands as required to open UM output files, e.g. 

xconv atmosa.pa19810901_00

etc.

Worked solutions and sample output can be found in the 

Tutorials

directory that is in your home/ directory.
