How to make AVAILABLE files
FLEXPART windfields can be found in $FLEXPART_WINDS (this is an environment variable set when loading flexpart modulefile). FLEXPART windfields are downloaded from NILU on demand. Please send an email to drift@geo.uio.no for getting new windfields or for more information.
To create an AVAILABLE file for your simulation, you can use the python program:
mkAVAIL.py
You can type:
% mkAVAIL.py -h
for a summary of usage. A general example:
% mkAVAIL.py -s 200701 -e 200703 -m ECMWF
This would create a file in the directory from where you run mkAVAIL.py called: AVAILABLE_ECMWF_global
To get the full list of available options:
% mkAVAIL.py -h
NOTE: the pathname file has to be modified as following, so you may need to modify your scripts by adding a slash (version 9.2):
~/FLEXPART # cat pathnames ./myoptions/ ./outputs/ / AVAILABLE_ECMWF_global ============================================
