5. Regresson Test Configurations

The UFS Weather Model (WM) can be run in any of several configurations, from a single-component atmospheric model to a fully coupled model with multiple earth system components (e.g., atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice, land, and mediator). This chapter documents a few of the supported regression test (RT) configurations. For a full list of supported RT configurations, view the rt.conf file.

Attention

This chapter is a work in progress. There are a multitude of options for configuring the UFS WM, and this chapter merely details a few supported configurations. It will be expanded over time to include the full set of configurations supported for WM regression tests (RTs).

This chapter details the supported build/run options for each supported configuration. Click on the configuration category in Table 5.1 to go to that section. Each configuration category includes sample code for setting CMAKE_FLAGS and CCPP_SUITES. Additionally, there is a list of preferred physics suites, examples of ufs.configure files, and links to information on other input files required to run the model.

5.1. Background

Each RT configuration file (located in the ufs-weather-model/tests/tests directory) sets default variables by calling setup functions from ufs-weather-model/tests/default_vars.sh (see defaults here). Then, the RT configuration file sets test-specific variablesthese values will override the defaults. For example, the control_c48 test file sets a list of files that it will use, calls the export_fv3 function from default_vars.sh, and then exports test-specific variables. An excerpt is included below (... indicates omitted lines):

export LIST_FILES="sfcf000.nc \
                sfcf024.nc \
                atmf000.nc \
                atmf024.nc \
                RESTART/20210323.060000.coupler.res \
                RESTART/20210323.060000.fv_core.res.nc \
                ...
                RESTART/20210323.060000.sfc_data.tile5.nc \
                RESTART/20210323.060000.sfc_data.tile6.nc"

export_fv3

export INPES=1
export JNPES=1
export WRTTASK_PER_GROUP=2
export NPZ=127
export NPZP=128
export NPX=49
export NPY=49
export DT_ATMOS=1200
...

default_vars.sh contains eight functions that set defaults for different types of tests. Table 5.2 describes what each function does.

Table 5.2 default_vars.sh functions

Function Name

Description

export_fv3

Set variables to the FV3 default values (first common variables, then model-specific ones). Different machines may have different defaults for some variables.

export_cpl

Set variables to the default values for coupled / S2S configurations.

export_35d_run

Set variables to the default values for EMC’s weekly coupled benchmark 35d tests (see rt_35d.conf).

export_datm_cdeps

Set variables to the default values for configurations that use the data atmosphere (DATM) component.

export_hafs_datm_cdeps

Set variables to the default values for HAFS configurations that use the data atmosphere (DATM) component.

export_hafs_docn_cdeps

Set variables to the default values for HAFS configurations that use the data ocean (DOCN) component.

export_hafs_regional

Set variables to the default values for regional HAFS configurations.

export_hafs

Set variables to the default values for HAFS configurations.

Multiple default_vars.sh functions may be called in a given test. Values set in one function will be overridden when the same values are set in a subsequent function.

The most up-to-date list of develop branch data required for each test is available in the UFS WM RT Data Bucket. Users should click on “Browse Bucket” and navigate to the most recent date (in develop-YYYY-MM-DD format). Then, users should select Intel or GNU based on the compiler used in the test they want to run and then select the test name to see the required data.

5.2. Atmospheric Model Configurations

The atmospheric model configurations all use the UFS WM atmospheric component and may couple it with other models (e.g., a wave or aerosol model).

5.2.1. ATM - Standalone Atmospheric Model

The standalone atmospheric model (ATM) is an FV3-based prognostic atmospheric model that can be used for short- and medium-range research and operational forecasts. In standalone mode, ATM is not coupled to any other model.

Current ATM regression tests cover a wide variety of functionality and involve several physics tests. Table 5.3 contains a small selection of ATM-only RTs; it will be expanded to cover the full range of ATM-only supported configurations in time:

Certain physics-related settings are common to all of the supported RRFS configurations. These values are set in each test’s configuration file because they differ from the default_vars.sh values:

5.2.4. ATMAQ

5.2.5. ATML

The ATML configuration couples ATM with LND. These tests use default values set in the export_fv3 function of default_vars.sh.

Attention

There is an issue with -D32BIT=ON in the ATM-LND tests, and NoahMP requires r8 libraries.

5.3. Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS)

The RRFS configurations use an ATM-only configuration on a high-resolution regional grid with data assimilation capabilities. These tests use the default values set in the export_fv3, export_rap_common, export_rrfs_v1, and/or export_hrrr_conus13km functions of default_vars.sh unless other values are explicitly set in a given test file. In all tests, the values in export_fv3 are set first. Depending on the test, some of these values may be overriden by export_rrfs_v1 (which includes values from export_rap_common) or export_hrrr_conus13km. Table 5.8 compares the values set in export_fv3 to the values set in the other functions.

Note

export_rrfs_v1 calls export_rap_common, which calls export_fv3. Values from export_fv3 are set first, followed by values in export_rap_common and then values in export_rrfs_v1. Values in italics indicate that the value is inherited from a previously-called function.

FV3_HRRR

FV3_RRFS_v1beta

The FV3_RRFS_v1beta physics suite is described in the CCPP documentation here.

FV3_RRFS_v1nssl

The FV3_RRFS_v1nssl physics suite is similar to the FV3_RRFS_v1beta suite; however, it uses the NSSL 2-moment microphysics scheme instead of the Thompson microphysics scheme.

Additional Information

Each test file lists the input files required for a given test. Input files required for RRFS ATM configurations can be downloaded from the UFS WM RT Data Bucket. Users who wish to run additional (unsupported) cases may also find useful data in the NOAA RRFS data bucket.

Information on ufs.configure files is available in Section 4.2.4. The supported RRFS WM RTs use the same ufs.configure file that ATM-only tests do (ufs.configure.atm.IN). This file can be viewed in the ufs-weather-model/tests/parm directory.

Additionally, users can find examples of various RRFS configuration files in the ufs-weather-model/tests/parm directory. These files include model_configure_*, *_run.IN (input run), *.nml.IN (input namelist), field_table_*, and diag_table_* files.

5.4. LND

The LND configuration couples DATM, CDEPS, and CMEPS with LND. These tests use default values set in the export_datm_cdeps function of default_vars.sh.

5.7. Hurricane Analysis and Reforecast System Configurations

The HAFS configuration uses an DATM-only configuration.

These tests use the default values set in the export_fv3, export_hafs, export_hafs_regional, export_hafs_datm_cdeps, and export_hafs_docn_cdeps functions of default_vars.sh unless other values are explicitly set in a given test file. In all tests, the values in export_fv3 are set first.

Note

export_hafs calls export_hafs_regional, which calls export_hafs_datm_cdeps or export_hafs_docn_cdeps, which calls export_fv3. Values from export_fv3 are set first, followed by values in export_hafs, export_hafs_regional, and then values in export_hafs_datm_cdeps or export_hafs_docn_cdeps.
