We take the steps of downloading and compiling NEMO4.2 code on ARCHER2. This post is written by TiPACCs PDRA Alethea Mountford (alethea.mountford@northumbria.ac.uk), thanks Alethea!

Pre-requisites:

Suggested reading:

Installing NEMO

Get NEMO4.2.0, note that as of the NEMO4.2.0 release, svn is no longer supported. Further reading on the NEMO site

git clone --branch 4.2.0 https://forge.nemo-ocean.eu/nemo/nemo.git NEMORC

Build NEMO

Log-into ARCHER2. Based on NEMO4 ARCHER2 help page. Set-up your environment with:

module -s restore /work/n01/shared/acc/n01_modules/ucx_env

From: /work/n01/shared/nemo/ARCH/arch-X86_ARCHER2-Cray_4.2.fcm put into your ARCH folder, i.e., /work/n02/n02/asmou/NEMORC/arch/arch-X86_ARCHER2-Cray_4.2.fcm

Add -J flag to FC_MODSEARCH in /work/n02/n02/asmou/NEMORC/ext/FCM/lib/Fcm/Config.pm, should look like

FC_MODSEARCH => '-J',                # FC flag, specify "module" path

Test compile works, i.e.,

#path to where you cloned NEMO
cd /work/n02/n02/asmou/NEMORC
./makenemo -r WED025 -m X86_ARCHER2-Cray_4.2 -j 16
ls -lah cfgs/WED025/BLD/bin/nemo.exe

If -Dkey_nosignedzero has been added to arch-X86_ARCHER2-Cray_4.2.fcm then key_nosignedzero should have been added to cpp_WED025.fcm, i.e should have:

bld::tool::fppkeys key_xios key_si3 key_qco key_isf key_nosignedzero

If key_nosignedzero is not present in cpp_WED025.fcm, this can be added manually during compile:

./makenemo -r WED025 -m X86_ARCHER2-Cray_4.2 add_key “key_nosignedzero” -j 16

Make sure to link the correct xios server (trunk, not 2.5) in your working directory:

ln -s /work/n01/shared/nemo/xios-trunk/bin/xios_server.exe xios_server.exe

Download the WED025 auxiliary input files

wget https://zenodo.org/record/6817000/files/WED025_demonstrator_forcings.tar.zip?download=1
mv WED025_demonstrator_forcings.tar.zip\?download\=1  WED025_demonstrator_forcings.tar.zip
unzip WED025_demonstrator_forcings.tar.zip
tar -tvf WED025_demonstrator_forcings.tar
