DART interface module for the 9-variable model. The 16 public interfaces
are standardized for all DART compliant models. These interfaces allow
DART to advance the model, get the model state and metadata describing
this state, find state variables that are close to a given location,
and do spatial interpolation for model state variables. The distinctive
part of the model interfaces is the namelist.
This model provides interesting transient off-attractor behavior
that is something like gravity waves.
types_mod time_manager_mod oned/location_mod utilities_mod
Optional namelist interface &model_nml may be read from file input.nml. The details of the namelist are always model-specific (there are no generic namelist values).
A note about documentation style. Optional arguments are enclosed in brackets [like this].
integer :: get_model_size
Returns the length of the model state vector. Required.
model_size | The length of the model state vector. |
real(r8), dimension(:), intent(inout) :: x type(time_type), intent(in) :: time
Advances the model for a single time step. The time associated with the initial model state is also input although it is not used for the computation.
x | State vector of length model_size. |
time | Specifies time of the initial model state. |
integer, intent(in) :: index_in type(location_type), intent(out) :: location integer, optional, intent(out) :: var_type
Returns metadata about a given state vector element, indexed by index_in, in the model state vector. The location defines where the state variable is located. For 9-variable, the three X variables are at 0, 1/9, and 2/9, the three Y variables at 3/9, 4/9 and 5/9, and the three z variables at 6/9, 7/9, and 8/9 on a cyclic [0, 1] domain. The variable type is always returned as 1.
index_in | Index of state vector element about which information is requested. |
location | The location of state variable element. |
var_type | Returns the type (always 1) of the indexed state variable as an optional argument. |
real(r8), dimension(:), intent(in) :: x type(location_type), intent(in) :: location integer, intent(in) :: itype real(r8), intent(out) :: obs_val integer, intent(out) :: istatus
Given model state, returns the value interpolated to a given location in [0, 1] by linear interpolation. Variable locations are at i/9, i = 0, 1, ...,8, in the cyclic [0, 1] domain. So, a value of 1/18 is an average of the X1 and X2 variables. The type variable is not used here and istatus is always returned as 0 (successful interpolation).
x | A model state vector. |
location | Location to which to interpolate. |
itype | Not used. |
obs_val | The interpolated value from the model. |
istatus | Quality control information, always returned 0. |
type(time_type) :: get_model_time_step
Returns the time step (forecast length) of the model; The time step defaults to 1 hour but is settable by namelist.
var | Smallest time step of model. |
Used for runtime initialization of model; reads namelist, initializes model parameters, etc. This is the first call made to the model by any DART-compliant assimilation routine.
A stub since 9-variable requires no clean up.
type(time_type), intent(out) :: time
Returns the time at which the model will start if no input initial conditions are to be used. This is used to spin-up the model from rest. Sets time to 0 in this model.
time | Initial model time. |
real(r8), dimension(:), intent(out) :: x
Returns default initial conditions for the model; generally used for spinning up initial model states. Values chosen here are 0.1 for all nine state variables.
x | Initial conditions for state vector. |
integer :: nc_write_model_atts integer, intent(in) :: ncFileID
This routine must write the model-specific attributes to a netCDF file. This includes coordinate variables and any metadata, but NOT the model state vector. We do have to allocate SPACE for the model state vector, but that variable gets filled as the model advances. models/template/model_mod.f90 contains code that can be used for any model as-is. The generic code prepares a file which will have the state vector written as a single 1-D array of data. This routine can be modified to save the data in form more closely related to the actual grid shape and variable type, and could also be extended to write additional attributes if desired. This routine is required for all models.
ncFileID | Integer file descriptor to previously-opened netCDF file. |
ierr | Returns a 0 for successful completion. |
integer :: nc_write_model_vars integer, intent(in) :: ncFileID real(r8), dimension(:), intent(in) :: statevec integer, intent(in) :: copyindex integer, intent(in) :: timeindex
Writes a copy of the state variables to a netCDF file. Multiple copies of the state for a given time are supported, allowing, for instance, a single file to include multiple ensemble estimates of the state.
ncFileID | file descriptor to previously-opened netCDF file. |
statevec | A model state vector. |
copyindex | Integer index of copy to be written. |
timeindex | The timestep counter for the given state. |
ierr | Returns 0 for normal completion. |
real(r8), dimension(:), intent(in) :: state real(r8), dimension(:), intent(out) :: pert_state logical, intent(out) :: interf_provided
Given a model state, produces a perturbed model state. This particular model does not implement an interface for this and so returns .false. for interf_provided.
state | State vector to be perturbed. |
pert_state | Perturbed state vector: NOT returned. |
interf_provided | Returned false; interface is not implemented. |
type(get_close_type), intent(inout) :: gc real(r8), intent(in) :: maxdist
Pass-through to the 1-D locations module. See get_close_maxdist_init() for the documentation of this subroutine.
type(get_close_type), intent(inout) :: gc integer, intent(in) :: num type(location_type), intent(in) :: obs(num)
Pass-through to the 1-D locations module. See get_close_obs_init() for the documentation of this subroutine.
type(get_close_type), intent(in) :: gc type(location_type), intent(in) :: base_obs_loc integer, intent(in) :: base_obs_kind type(location_type), intent(in) :: obs(:) integer, intent(in) :: obs_kind(:) integer, intent(out) :: num_close integer, intent(out) :: close_ind(:) real(r8), optional, intent(out) :: dist(:)
Pass-through to the 1-D locations module. See get_close_obs() for the documentation of this subroutine.
real(r8), dimension(:), intent(in) :: ens_mean
A NULL INTERFACE in this model.
ens_mean | State vector containing the ensemble mean. |
This namelist is read from the file input.nml. Namelists start with an ampersand '&' and terminate with a slash '/'. Character strings that contain a '/' must be enclosed in quotes to prevent them from prematurely terminating the namelist.
