WhatIs: The DefLists directory

the DefLists directory

The DefLists subdirectory of the LMDZ main directory contains examples of input text files used by the GCM such as:

• sample "def" files containing switches and parameters read at run-time by LMDZ
• sample "xml" files used by XIOS to control its outputs
• various other simple text files which may be needed by dedicated parametrizations or options

Worth knowing

Only simple text files are provided in this directory. There are other inputs read in by the model (e.g. start.nc or limit.nc NetCDF files) which are not distributed with the source code.
