Available (bench) test cases

Test cases (or "bench" cases) are sets of initial conditions and input files that a user can download and use "out of the box", usually to test that his/her installation of LMDZ6 is fine.

Obtaining test (bench) cases

If using the install_lmdz.sh script, then a default (assuming script was run with "-bench 1") 32x32x39 case is downloaded (file bench_lmdz_32x32x39.tar.gz) and used. One has to manually change the

grid_resolution=32x32x39

variable in the script (before running it) to pick a different reference case (assuming it is available, see below)

Downloading test (bench) case

To download one of the test cases, simply head for https://web.lmd.jussieu.fr/~lmdz/pub/3DBenchs where you will find .tar.gz files for various GCM resolution and setups. Check out file 000_Readme for more information.
