A copy of the contents of the README

Prerequisites

• Python 3.*
• Python packages numpy, scipy, netCDF4 and matplotlib
• GMAP tools in /home/common/sync

Quick installation

To install EMS on a CNRM computer, with access to the CNRM Lustre system:

1. Get the installation script:

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romainroehrig/EMS/master/install.sh

2. Modify install.sh (or execute install.sh -h to get its usage):

   • Set EMS_VERSION, e.g., EMS_VERSION=2.4.3
   • Set where you want to install EMS: default is REP_EMS=$HOME/Tools/EMS/V${EMS_VERSION}
   • Set where you want to run MUSC: default is REP_MUSC=$HOME/MUSC/V${EMS_VERSION}

3. Execute install.sh. A test is done at the end with ARPEGE-Climat 6.3.2 for the ARMCU/REF case.

Using EMS

1. Go in the REP_MUSC directory

2. Source setenv to have the right PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables

   source setenv

3. You can manage your own namelists (namelist directory), vertical grid (grid directory) and MUSC configuration files (config directory), and postprocessing (post directory).

4. Run MUSC:

   MUSC.py -config config/YOUR_CONFIG_FILE -case CASE -subcase SUBCASE
