This package is used to generate the initial condition of GAMIL (or includes forcing data in future). There are two data sources:

• reanalysis data, e.g. ERA-interim
• model initial condition of different resolution

The second source can be used to change the original settings, such as the topography, resolution, etc.

• Get the codes

$ git clone https://github.com/dongli/gamil-init
$ cd gamil-init
$ git submodule update --init

• Compile the codes

Use CMake to generate Makefile. Note use gfortran since the codes contain some Fortran 2003 syntax, and other Fortran compilers are not happy with it.

$ cd build
$ FC=gfortran cmake ..
$ make

• Edit namelist

When reanalysis data is used, the original data should be organized into one file, the utility script will be added in future. Then, edit the namelist (there is a template can be copied and edited, called "namelist-era").

When existed model initial condition is used, just edit the namelist (the template is called "namelist-model").

Then run:

$ ./gamil-init <namelist>

• Copy unclaried data (for the time being)

There are several variables that I do not know how to set, then copy them from old initial condition. Run NCL script:

$ ncl <GAMIL-INIT ROOT>/tools/copy_unclarified_data.ncl
