Other OASIS4 directories

In the oasis4 directory, three more directories /doc, /examples and /util are found:

• /doc, contains OASIS4 User Guide.
• /examples, contains three toy examples:
  • toyoa4 : see details in section 7.3
  • toyoa4_restart : to generate the restart file for field COSENHFL in the toyoa4 example, see the README therein
  • tutorial1 : reproduces ping-pong exchanges between model1 and model2 with either the OASIS3 or OASIS4 coupler, with or without lag, in parallel or not; see the readme_tutorial1.pdf therein. This is probably the simplest toy model available to start learning about OASIS4.
• /util contains the following directories
  • creation_restart_oa4 : sources to generate restart files for coupled runs with OASIS4, by reading data in restart files used by OASIS3.
  • gui : the sources of the Graphical User Interface that can be used to generate the component description and configuration XML files (see section 6); a GUI User Guide is available in oasis4/util/gui/doc
  • /make_dir : top makefile and platform dependent header files for compiling OASIS4 (see section 7.2.1)
  • /xmlfiles : the SCHEMAs of the different XML files used with OASIS4 (see section 6)
  • mppnccombine : mppnccombine.nc, which may be used to join together NetCDF data files representing a decomposed domain into a unified NetCDF file.
  • runscripts : scripts to run the examples
  • license and perl_script : can be ignored as they contain scripts of interest for developers only.
