GISS Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Model

The GISS Coupled Model is a 12 atmosphere layer 13 ocean layer coupled GCM with a resolution of 4x5 latitude by longitude. In order to run the model on an Apple G5 running OS X 10.X follow the instructions below

  1. Download the model and the input files
    
    % wget http://columbia.edu/~mac59/pliocene/CoupledModel/GSO.zip
    % wget http://columbia.edu/~mac59/pliocene/CoupledModel/GSO_inputs.tar.gz
    
    
  2. Unpack the model and the input files into a directory of your choice. In this example we choose a folder named GCM
    
    % unzip GSO.zip
    % mv GSO_inputs.tar.gz GSO/
    % cd GSO
    % tar -zxvf GSO_inputs.tar.gz
    % ls -l

    drwxr-xr-x   27 mankoff  mankoff       918 Apr  8 17:50 input
    
    
  3. Compile the code. You need the IBM XLF compiler.
    
    make
    
    
  4. Start the run
    
    cd output/GSOfoo
    ../../BAO23M12xln
    ./GSOfoo.exe < ../../I
