View source for ICOSA LMDZ directory layout and contents

This page describes the directory structure of the ICOSA_LMDZ directory which contains the interface between the DYNAMICO dynamical core and the LMDZ.* physics packages

== The ''ICOSA_LMDZ'' directory ==
Once downloaded from the svn server, the ''ICOSA_LMDZ'' directory contents should be:
<pre>
arch     build  compile_ada      make_icosa_lmdz  xml
bld.cfg  clean  compile_occigen  src
</pre>
Where the noteworthy elements are:
* The <font color="green">make_icosa_lmdz</font> script, which is the master script to use to compile all components (DYNAMICO, physics package, the interface between the two and the IOIPSL and XIOS libraries).
* Example scripts <font color="green">compile_ada</font> and <font color="green">compile_occigen</font> which are wrappers to the <font color="green">make_icosa_lmdz</font> script with a set of given options. The general idea here is that a user would likewise write his own wrapper script.
* The ''arch'' directory which contains architecture files used by the <font color="green">make_icosa_lmdz</font> script
* The ''src'' directory which contains the source code for the interface
* The ''xml'' directory which contains an example of the <font color="gray">iodef.xml</font> file to use, along with related instructions to combining it with other xml file gathered from DYNAMICO and physics packages

== The ''src'' subdirectory ==
This directory contains the source code for the interface, along with subdirectories related to each of the physics packages (currently Generic, Mars and Venus). More general code, i.e. which apply to all the physics packages, such as plugins for the vertical discretization or dissipation factors are located at this level
