View source for LMDZ.GENERIC directory layout and contents

This page describes the directory structure of the Generic physics package and its main contents

== The ''LMDZ.GENERIC'' directory ==
Once download from the svn server, the ''LMDZ.GENERIC'' directory contents should be something like:
<pre>
deftank                               Making_New_Corrk_Directories.pdf
DOC                                   ManualGCM_GENERIC.pdf
How_to_add_an_aerosol_to_the_GCM.pdf  patch_large_domains
libf                                  README
Licence_CeCILL_V2-en.txt              utilities
Licence_CeCILL_V2-fr.txt
</pre>
Where the noteworthy elements are:
* the ''ManualGCM_GENERIC.pdf'', ''How_to_add_an_aerosol_to_the_GCM.pdf'' and ''Making_New_Corrk_Directories.pdf'' pdf documents containing some information on the model and how to use it (somewhat obsolete, should be superseded by this MediaWiki site)
* the ''DOC'' directory contains LaTeX files and figures used to generate ''ManualGCM_GENERIC.pdf''
* the ''README'' file which contains dated brief comments about changes in the code
* the ''libf'' directory which contains the Fortran source code (see dedicated section below)
* the ''utilities'' directory which contains some post-processing tools (see dedicated section below).
* the ''deftank'' directory which contains examples of model input files (see dedicated section below).

== The ''libf'' subdirectory ==
The ''libf'' directory contains tree subdirectories
<pre>
aeronostd  dynphy_lonlat  phystd
</pre>
* The main physics package code is in ''phystd'', with aeronomy routines in the companion ''aeronostd'' directory
* the ''dynphy_lonlat'' directory merely contains a ''phystd'' subdirectory (this structure follows what is done in [[LMDZ.COMMON_directory_layout_and_contents|LMDZ.COMMON]] to ease physics-dynamics interface management). It is in the ''dynphy_lonlat/phystd'' directory that utilities main programs <font color="green">newstart</font> and <font color="green">start2archive</font> are located, along with physics-dynamics interface routines.

== The ''deftank'' subdirectory ==
TODO... DESCRIBE CONTENTS AND SUBDIRS AND CROSS REFERENCE TO APPROPRIATE PAGES

== The ''utilities'' subdirectory ==
TODO...DESCRIBE UTILITIES + README there
