early Mars

It is already described in the Quick Install and Run section.

Earth with slab ocean

TBD by Siddharth, once all changes have been committed (also need a validation of the model on Earth to be sure)

TRAPPIST-1e with photochemistry

A temperate rocky planet in synchronous rotation around a low mass star.

Here is an example to simulate the planet TRAPPIST-1e with an Earth atmosphere using the photochemical module of the GCM.

To install the model and run it, follow Quick Install and Run but with the following changes:

GCM Input Datafiles and Datasets

Section GCM Input Datafiles and Datasets download the TRAPPIST-1e files (instead of the early Mars files): 

wget -nv --no-check-certificate http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr/~lmdz/planets/generic/bench_trappist1e_photochemistry_64x48x30_b38x36.tar.gz

You can find the same type of file with the additional folder containing the chemical network file:

Specific to photochemistry: set hard coded reactions

In /LMDZ.GENERIC/libf/aeronostd/chimiedata_h.F90 you can hard code reaction if needed, for instance because the reaction rate is very specific and out of the generic formula or your photochemical reaction does not use a regular cross section.

The TRAPPIST-1e test case use 3 hard coded reactions.

Compiling a test case (TRAPPIST-1e)

Change the following compiling option:

NB: option -b is mandatory to change while option -d will still run with lower or higher resolution (if z2sig.def remains coherent with the number of altitude levels, meaning at least as many altitude levels defined as the number of levels wanted).

TRAPPIST-1c in Venus-like conditions

A warm rocky planet in synchronous rotation around a low mass star. Here we provide an example to simulate the atmosphere of Trappist-1c, assuming it evolved to a modern Venus-like atmosphere.

The planetary parameters are taken from Algol et al. 2021 and can be found in this table Media:Planetary_parameters_Trappist1c.png

First, install the model and run it, following Quick Install and Run but instead of Early Mars files, please download bench_trappist1c_64x48x50_b32x36 using this command: 

wget -nv --no-check-certificate http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr/~lmdz/planets/generic/bench_trappist1c_64x48x50_b32x36.tar.gz

Compiling a test case (TRAPPIST-1c)

Change the following compiling option: 

-d 64x48x50 -b 32x36


You can find the same type of ASCII *def files than in the case of Early Mars, but adapted to the planet's characteristics and orbital parameters of Trappist 1c. In particular callphys.def contains the following changes:

  • The planet is assumed to be in 1:1 spin-orbit resonance, therefore
  Diurnal = .false. 
  Tlocked = .true.
  • The planet equilibrium temperature is about 342 K
  tplanet    = 341.9
  • The host star is a late spectral type M8V, with a stellar flux at 1 AU of 0.7527 [W m-2]
  startype = 9
  Fat1AU = 0.7527
  • Fixed aerosol distribution, no radiative active tracers (no evaporation/condensation of H2O and CO2):
  aerofixed     = .true.
  aeroco2       = .false.
  aeroh2o       = .false.
  • No water cycle model, no water cloud formation or water precipitation, no CO2 condensation:
  water         = .false.
  watercond     = .false.
  waterrain     = .false.
  hydrology     = .false.
  nonideal      = .true.
  co2cond       = .false.
  • Following Haus et al. 2015 a prescribed radiatively active cloud model is included.

It can be activated/deactivated with the flag aerovenus. 

  aerovenus = .true.
  • Mode 1, 2, 2p, 3 and the "unknown" UV absorber can be included/excluded by setting to true/false the following keywords. The characteristics of each mode (e.g. effect radius, effective variance) are based on Venus Express/ESA observations and can be found in this table Media:Table1 aerosolVenus trappist1c.png
  aerovenus1    = .true.
  aerovenus2    = .true.
  aerovenus2p   = .true.
  aerovenus3    = .true.
  aerovenusUV   = .true.

The cloud model is prescribed from 1 to 0.037 bar pressure layers. For each mode, the top/bottom pressure can be modified by hard-coding model routine aeropacity.F90. Here below an example for mode 1 particles, where the top pressure layer and bottom pressure layer are prescribed at 0.1 bar and 1 bar, respectively: 

!       1. Initialization
          aerosol(1:ngrid,1:nlayer,iaer)=0.0
          p_bot = 1.e5 ! bottom pressure [Pa]
          p_top = 1.e4
          h_bot = 1.0e3 ! bottom scale height [m]
          h_top = 5.0e3

3D DYNAMICO setup

Due to the rich dynamical activities in their atmospheres (banded zonal jets, eddies, vortices, storms, equatorial oscillations,...) resulting from multi-scale dynamic interactions, the Global Climate Modelling of the giant planet requires to resolve eddies arising from hydrodynamical instabilities to correctly establish the planetary-scaled jets regime. To this purpose, their Rossby radius deformation $$L_D$$, which is the length scale at which rotational effects become as important as buoyancy or gravity wave effects in the evolution of the flow about some disturbance, is calculated to determine the most suitable horizontal grid resolution. At mid-latitude range, for the giant planets, $$L_D$$ is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Earth. As the giant planets have a size of roughly 10 times the Earth size (i.e., Jupiter and Saturn), the modelling grid must be of a horizontal resolution of 0.5$$^{\circ}$$ over longitude and latitude (vs 5$$^{\circ}$$ for the Earth), considering 3 grid points to resolved $$L_D$$. Moreover, to have a chance to model the equatorial oscillation, meridional cell circulations and/or a seasonal inter-hemispheric circulation, a giant planet GCM must also include a high vertical resolution. Indeed, these climate phenomena have been studied for decades for the Earth's atmosphere, and result from small- and large-scale interactions between the troposphere and stratosphere. This implies that the propagation of dynamic instabilities, waves and turbulence should be resolved as far as possible along the vertical. Contrary to horizontal resolution, it doesn't really exist a criterion (similar to $$L_D$$) to determine the most suitable vertical grid resolution and still an adjustable parameter according to the processes to be represented. However, we advise the user to set a vertical resolution of at least 5 grid points per scale height as first stage. Finally, these atmospheres are cold, with long radiative response time which needs radiative transfer computations over decade-long years of Jupiter (given that a Jupiter year $$\approx$$ 12 Earth years), Saturn ( a Saturn year $$\approx$$ 30 Earth years), Uranus (a Uranus year $$\approx$$ 84 earth years) or Neptune (a Neptune year $$\approx$$ 169 Earth years), depending on the chosen planet.


To be able to deal with these three -- and non-exhaustive -- requirements to build a giant planet GCM, we need massive computational ressources. For this, we use a dynamical core suitable and numerically stable for massive parallel ressource computations: DYNAMICO [Dubos et al,. 2015].


In these two following subsections, we purpose an example of installation for Jupiter and a Hot Jupiter. All the install, compiling, setting and parameters files for each giant planets could be found on: https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/aymeric.spiga/dynamico-giant (the old repo is archived as read-only https://github.com/aymeric-spiga/dynamico-giant)

The DYNAMICO-giant wiki is here

If you have already downloaded LMDZ.COMMON, LMDZ.GENERIC, IOIPSL, ARCH, you only have to download:


ICOSAGCM: the DYNAMICO dynamical core 

git clone https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/ipsl/projets/dynamico/dynamico.git ICOSAGCM
cd ICOSAGCM
git checkout 90f7138a60ebd3644fbbc42bc9dfa22923386385

ICOSA_LMDZ: the interface using to link LMDZ.GENERIC physical packages and ICOSAGCM 

svn update -r 2655 -q ICOSA_LMDZ


XIOS (XML Input Output Server): the library to interpolate input/output fields between the icosahedral and longitude/latitude regular grids on fly 

svn co -r 2319 -q http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ioserver/svn/XIOS/trunk XIOS

If you haven't already download LMDZ.COMMON, LMDZ.GENERIC, IOIPSL, ARCH, you can use the install.sh script provided by the GitLab repository.


Once each part of the GCM is downloaded, you are able to compile it. Firstly, you have to define your target architecture file (hereafter named YOUR_ARCH_FILE) where you will fill in all the necessary information about the local environment, where libraries are located, which compiler, and compiler options will be used, etc. Some architecture files related to specific machines are provided in the ARCH directory, which are referenced in the following lines without the prefix 'arch-' (i.e., arch-X64_IRENE-AMD.env will be referenced as X64_IRENE-AMD).

The main specificity of DYNAMICO-giant is that every main parts of the model (ICOSAGCM, LMDZ.COMMON and LMDZ.GENERIC) are compiled as libraries, and settings and running configuration are managed by the ICOSA_LMDZ interface.

First, you have to compile IOIPSL, 

cd LMDZ.COMMON/ioipsl/                                                                                                             
    ./install_ioipsl_YOUR-MACHINE.bash
cd ../../

then XIOS library, 

cd XIOS/                                                                                                               
    ./make_xios --prod --arch YOUR_ARCH_FILE --arch_path ../ARCH --job 8 --full
cd -

the physics packaging, 

cd LMDZ.COMMON/                                                                                                        
    ./makelmdz_fcm -p std -p_opt "-b 20x25 -s 2" -prod -parallel mpi -libphy -io xios -arch YOUR_ARCH_FILE -arch_path ../ARCH -j 8 -full
cd -

the dynamical core DYNAMICO (located in ICOSAGCM directory, named from the icosahedral shape of the horizontal mesh), 

cd ICOSAGCM/
    ./make_icosa -prod -parallel mpi -external_ioipsl -with_xios -arch YOUR_ARCH_FILE -arch_path ../ARCH -job 8 -full
cd -

and finally the ICOSA_LMDZ interface 

cd ICOSA_LMDZ/
    ./make_icosa_lmdz -p std -p_opt "-b 20x25 -s 2" -parallel mpi -arch YOUR_ARCH_FILE -arch_path ../ARCH -job 8 -nodeps

This last step is a bit redundant with the two previous one, hence make_icosa_lmdz will execute ./make_icosa (in the ICOSAGCM directory) and ./makelmdz_fcm (in the LMDZ.COMMON directory) to create and source the architecture files shared between all parts of the model, as well as create the intermediate file config.fcm. As you have already compiled these two elements, make_icosa_lmdz should only create the linked architecture files, config.fcm and compile the interface. Here, -nodeps option prevents the checking of XIOS and IOIPSL compilation, which saves you from recompiling these two elements again.

Finally, your executable programs should appeared in ICOSA_LMDZ/bin subdirectory, as icosa_lmdz.exe and in XIOS/bin subdirectory, as xios_server.exe


All these compiling steps are summed up in make_isoca_lmdz program that should be adapted to your own computational settings (i.e., through you target architecture file). 

./make_icosa_lmdz -p std -p_opt "-b 20x25 -s 2" -parallel mpi -arch YOUR_ARCH_FILE -arch_path ../ARCH -job 8 -full

Here, -full option assure the compilation of each part (IOIPSL, XIOS, LMDZ.COMMON, ICOSAGCM and ICOSA_LMDZ) of the model.

Now you can move your two executable files to your working directory and start to run your own simulation of Jupiter or a Hot Jupiter, as what follows.


Note: If you are using the GitLab file architecture (https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/aymeric.spiga/dynamico-giant), you should be able to compile the model directly from your working directory (for instance dynamico-giant/jupiter/) by using the compile_occigen.sh program, which has to be adapted to your machine/cluster.

Jupiter with DYNAMICO

Using a new dynamical core implies new setting files, in addition or as a replacement of those relevant to LMDZ.COMMON dynamical core using.


There are two kind of setting files:

A first group relevant to DYNAMICO:

- context_dynamico.xml: Configuration file for DYNAMICO for reading and writing files using XIOS, mainly used when you want to check the installation of ICOSAGCM with an Held and Suarez test case. When your installation, compilation and run environment is fully functional, the dynamic core output files will not (necessarily) be useful and you can disable their writing.

- context_input_dynamico.xml:

- file_def_dynamico.xml: Definition of output diagnostic files which will be written into the output files only related to ICOSAGCM.

- field_def_dynamico.xml: Definition of all existing variables that can be output from DYNAMICO.

- tracer.def: Definition of the name and physico-chemical properties of the tracers which will be advected by the dynamical core. For now, there is two files related to tracers, we are working to harmonise it.

A second group relevant to LMDZ.GENERIC physical packages:

- context_lmdz_physics.xml: File in which are defined the horizontal grid, vertical coordinate, output file(s) definition, with the setting of frequency output writing, time unit, geophysical variables to be written, etc. Each new geophysical variables added here have to be defined in the field_def_physics.xml file.

- field_def_physics.xml: Definition of all existing variables that can be output from the physical packages interfaced with DYNAMICO. This is where you will add each geophysical fields that you want to appear in the Xhistins.nc output files. For instance, related to the thermal plume scheme using for Jupiter's tropospheric dynamics, we have added the following variables: 

 1              <field id="h2o_vap" 
 2                    long_name="Vapor mass mixing ratio" 
 3                    unit="kg/kg" />
 4             <field id="h2o_ice" 
 5                    long_name="Vapor mass mixing ratio" 
 6                    unit="kg/kg" />
 7             <field id="detr" 
 8                    long_name="Detrainment" 
 9                    unit="kg/m2/s" />
10             <field id="entr" 
11                    long_name="Entrainment" 
12                    unit="kg/m2/s" />
13             <field id="w_plm" 
14                    long_name="Plume vertical velocity" 
15                    unit="m/s" />

- callphys.def: This setting file is used either with DYNAMICO or LMDZ.COMMON and allows the user to choose the physical parametrisation schemes and their appropriate main parameter values relevant to the planet being simulated. In our case of Jupiter, there are some specific parametrisations that should be added or modified from the example given as link at the beginning of this line:

Hot Jupiter with DYNAMICO

Modelling the atmosphere of Hot Jupiter is challenging because of the extreme temperature conditions, and the fact that these planets are gas giants. Therefore, using a dynamical core such as Dynamico is strongly recommended. Here, we discuss how to perform a cloudless simulation of the Hot Jupiter WASP-43 b, using Dynamico.

1st step: You need to go to the github mentionned previously for Dynamico: https://github.com/aymeric-spiga/dynamico-giant. Git clone this repo on your favorite cluster, and checkout to the "hot_jupiter" branch.

2nd step: Now, run the install.sh script. This script will install all the required models (LMDZ.COMMON, LMDZ.GENERIC,ICOSA_LMDZ,XIOS,FCM,ICOSAGCM). At this point, you only miss IOIPSL. To install it, go to 

 
dynamico-giant/code/LMDZ.COMMON/ioipsl/

There, you will find some examples of installations script. You need to create one that will work on your cluster, with your own arch files. During the installation of IOIPSL, you might be asked for a login/password. Contact TGCC computing center to get access.

3rd step: Great, now we have all we need to get started. Navigate to the hot_jupiter folder. You will find a compile_mesopsl.sh and a compile_occigen.sh script. Use them as examples to create the compile script adapted to your own cluster, then run it. While running, I suggest that you take a look at the log_compile file. The compilation can take a while (~ 10minutes, especially because of XIOS). On quick trick to make sure that everything went right is to check the number of Build command finished messages in log_compile. If everything worked out, there should be 6 of them.

4th step: Okay, the model compiled, good job ! Now we need to create the initial condition for our run. In the hot_jupiter1d folder, you already have a temp_profile.txt computed with the 1D version of the LMDZ.GENERIC (see rcm1d on this page). Thus, no need to recompute a 1D model but it will be needed if you want to model another Hot Jupiter. Navigate to the 'makestart' folder, located at 

 
dynamico-giant/hot_jupiter/makestart/

To generate the initial conditions for the 3D run, we're gonna start the model using the temperature profile from the 1D run. to do that, you will find a "job_mpi" script. Open it, and adapt it to your cluster and launch the job. This job is using 20 procs, and it runs 5 days of simulations. If everything goes well, you should see few netcdf files appear. The important ones are start_icosa0.nc, startfi0.nc and Xhistins.nc. If you see these files, you're all set to launch a real simulation !

5th step: Go back to hot_jupiter folder. There are a bunch of script to launch your simulation. Take a look at the astro_fat_mpi script, and adapt it to your cluster. Then you can launch your simulation by doing 

 
./run_astro_fat

This will start the simulation, using 90 procs. In the same folder, check if the icosa_lmdz.out file is created. This is the logfile of the simulation, while it is running. You can check there that everything is going well.

Important side note: When using the run_astro_fat script to run a simulation, it will run a chained simulation, restarting the simulation from the previous state after 100 days of simulations and generating Xhistins.nc files. This is your results file, where you will find all the variables that controls your atmosphere (temperature field, wind fields, etc..).

Good luck and enjoy the generic PCM Dynamico for Hot Jupiter !

2nd important side note: These 5 steps are the basic needed steps to run a simulation. If you want to tune simulations to another planet, or change other stuff, you need to take a look at *.def and *.xml files. If you're lost in all of this, take a look at the different pages of this website and/or contact us ! Also, you might want to check the wiki on the Github, that explains a lot of settings for Dynamico

3D LES setup

Proxima b with LES

To model the subgrid atmospheric turbulence, the WRF dynamical core coupled with the LMD Generic physics package is used. The first studied conducted was to resolve the convective activity of the substellar point of Proxami-b (Lefevre et al 2021). The impact of the stellar insolation and rotation period were studied. The files for the reference case, with a stellar flux of 880 W/m2 and an 11 days rotation period, are presented

The input_* file are the used to initialize the temperature, pressure, winds and moisture of the domain. input_souding : altitude (km), potential temperature, water vapour (kg/kg), u, v input_therm : normalized gas constant, isobaric heat capacity, pressure, density, temperature input_hr : SW heating, LW heating, Large-scale heating extracted from the GCM. Only the last one is used in this configuration.

The file namelist.input is used to set up the domain parameters (resolution, grid points, etc). The file levels specifies the eta-levels of the vertical domain.

Planet is used set up the atmospheric parameters, in order : gravity (m/s2), isobaric heat capacity (J/kg/K), molecular mass (g/mol), reference temperature (K), surface pressure (Pa), planet radius (m) and planet rotation rate (s-1).

The files *.def are the parameter for the physics. Compared to GCM runs, the convective adjustment in callphys.def is turned off

The file controle.txt, equivalent of the field controle in GCM start.nc, needed to initialize some physics constants.

1D setup

rcm1d test case

Running the model in 1D (i.e. considering simply a column of atmosphere) is a common first step to test a new setup. To do so, you first have to compile the 1D version of the model. The command line is very similar to the one for the 3D, except for 2 changes:

  1. put just the vertical resolution after the -b option (instead of LONxLATxVERT for the 3D case)
  2. at the end of the line, replace "gcm" with "rcm1d"

It will generate a file called rcm1d_XX_phyxxx_seq.e, where XX and phyxxx are the vertical resolution and the physics package, respectively.

Then, copy the executable in your working directory. Notice that the .def files differ a bit from the 3D case: run.def is replaced with rcm1d.def, which contains more general information. Indeed, the 1D mmodel does not use start.nc or startfi.nc files to initialize. Instead it reads everything from the .def files. You can find examples of 1D configuration in LMDZ.GENERIC/deftank (e.g. rcm1d.def.earlymars, rcm1d.def.earth), the best thing is to have a look at them.
