MAGE - With TIEGCM (GTR) Quick Start =================================================== These instructions illustrate the process of running a geospace simulation using the MAGE model coupled with TIEGCM. We call this version of the model "GTR" ("GAMERA-TIEGCM-RAIJU") for brevity. Before you begin ------------------------------------------------ Setting environment variables ************************************************ *Source* (not *run*) the environment setup scripts for the ``kaiju`` software and add paths to ``TIEGCMHOME`` and ``TIEGCMDATA``. For example: .. code-block:: bash source /path/to/your/kaiju-clone/scripts/setupEnvironment.sh export TIEGCMHOME=/path/to/your/tiegcm export TIEGCMDATA=/path/to/your/tiegcm/data .. note:: The ``TIEGCMHOME`` and ``TIEGCMDATA`` environment variables are required for running the GTR model. They should point to the TIEGCM source code directory and the TIEGCM data directory, respectively. The TIEGCMDATA directory is located in the following locations: - On ``derecho``: ``/glade/campaign/hao/itmodel/tiegcm3.0/new_data`` - On ``aitken``: ``/nobackup/nrao3/tiegcm/tiegcm3.0/data`` - The required data files can be downloaded from the NCAR Globus endpoint using the following link: `TIEGCM Data Files `_ Running a geospace simulation with MAGE -------------------------------------------- The MAGE software needs several files in order to run. The detailed steps for creating these files have been combined into a script called ``engage.py``. The script is provided in the ``kaiju`` code repository. More information on ``engage.py`` is available :doc:`here `. You can see the options supported by ``engage.py`` by running it with the ``--help`` or ``-h`` command-line option. .. code-block:: bash engage.py --help usage: engage.py [-h] [--clobber] [--debug] [--mode MODE] [--engage_options_path ENGAGE_OPTIONS_PATH] [--makeitso_options_path MAKEITSO_OPTIONS_PATH] [--tiegcm_options_path TIEGCM_OPTIONS_PATH] [--verbose] Interactive script to prepare a MAGE geospace model run. options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --clobber Overwrite existing options file (default: False). --debug, -d Print debugging output (default: False). --mode MODE User mode (BASIC|INTERMEDIATE|EXPERT) (default: BASIC). --engage_options_path ENGAGE_OPTIONS_PATH, -eo ENGAGE_OPTIONS_PATH Path to engage JSON file of options (default: None) --makeitso_options_path MAKEITSO_OPTIONS_PATH, -mo MAKEITSO_OPTIONS_PATH Path to makeitso JSON file of options (default: None) --tiegcm_options_path TIEGCM_OPTIONS_PATH, -to TIEGCM_OPTIONS_PATH Path to tiegcm JSON file of options (default: None) --verbose, -v Print verbose output (default: False). Running ``engage.py`` ************************************************ For this example, we will run the code on ``derecho``, and use the default ``BASIC`` mode, which requires the minimum amount of input from the user. At each prompt, you can either type in a value, or hit the :kbd:`Return` key to accept the default value (shown in square brackets at the end of the prompt). 1. First we will create a directory for this run in your scratch space. .. code-block:: bash mkdir quickstart_gtr cd quickstart_gtr 2. Copy the executables you built in the previous steps to your run directory. .. note:: The TIE-GCM executables for a `Q` run was built in the `tiegcm_build_Q` directory in the build guide. .. code-block:: bash cp $TIEGCMHOME/tiegcm_build_Q/stdout/tiegcm.exe . cp $TIEGCMHOME/tiegcm_build_Q/stdout/tiegcm.x . cp $KAIJUHOME/build_gtr/bin/voltron_mpi.x . 3. Run ``engage.py`` with no arguments: .. code-block:: bash $KAIJUHOME/scripts/makeitso/engage.py tiegcmrun from /glade/u/home/nikhilr/kaiju_engage/tiegcm/tiegcmrun/tiegcmrun.py makeitso from /glade/u/home/nikhilr/kaiju_engage/kaiju-private/scripts/makeitso/makeitso.py Name to use for PBS job(s) [geospace]: Start date for simulation (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss) [2001-06-01T23:00:00]: Stop date for simulation (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss) [2001-06-02T01:00:00]: Do you want to split your job into multiple segments?

If you followed the build instructions, this should be the ``build_gtr`` subdirectory. This is required for running the model in GTR mode. ``engage.py`` will then prompt you for the following additional information from ``makeitso``: .. code-block:: bash Extend TFIN by dtCouple - 1 seconds (T|F) [T]: (VOLTRON) Run in GCM mode (T|F) [T]: Do you have an existing boundary condition file to use?

The PBS scripts ['./geospace-SPINUP.pbs', './geospace-WARMUP-01.pbs', './geospace-WARMUP-02.pbs', './geospace-01.pbs'] have been created, each with a corresponding XML file. To submit the jobs with the proper dependency (to ensure each segment runs in order), please run the script geospace_pbs.sh like this: bash geospace_pbs.sh ``engage.py`` will then prompt you for the following additional information from ``tiegcmrun``: .. code-block:: bash Instructions: -> Default Selected input parameter is given in GREEN -> Warnings and Information are given in YELLOW -> Errors are given in RED -> Valid values (if any) are given in brackets eg.

GPI file [/glade/campaign/hao/itmodel/tiegcm3.0/new_data/boundary_files/GPI/gpi_1960001-2024332.nc]: After these inputs, the script interpolates source file for TIEGCM, and generates XML and PBS files for the run, as well as a grid file for use in the model. You should see output similar to this: .. code-block:: bash /glade/derecho/scratch/nikhilr/GTR58 exitsts /glade/derecho/scratch/nikhilr/GTR58 exitsts /glade/derecho/scratch/nikhilr/GTR58 exitsts Interpolating primary file /glade/campaign/hao/itmodel/tiegcm3.0/new_data/source/junsol_f70.nc to create new primary file /glade/derecho/scratch/nikhilr/GTR58/tiegcm_standalone/geospace-tiegcm-standalone_prim.nc at horizontal resolution 2.5 and vertical resolution 0.25 with zitop 7.0.

They are generated by the ``engage.py`` script with all the parameters required to run the simulation. The run is divided into segments: * ``geospace-SPINUP.*`` This segment runs the GAMERA model to create the initial conditions for the simulation. It is run first, and its output is used by the next segment. * ``geospace-WARMUP-**.*`` These segments runs the GAMERA RAIJU model to "warm up" for for the coupled model execution. The ``-01``, ``-02``, etc. suffixes indicate the segment number, and the segments are run in order. * ``tiegcm_standalone-**.*`` This segment runs the TIEGCM model to create the initial conditions for the coupled model. The ``-01`` to ``-08``. suffixes indicate the segment number, and the segments are run in order. * ``geospace-**.*`` These segments runs the GTR coupled modele. The ``-01``, ``-02``, etc. suffixes indicate the segment number, and the segments are run in order. This image shows how the segments are run in order: .. image:: GTRSegment.png The image files are summaries of the CDAWeb data used in the initial condition file (``bcwind.h5``). Those plots should look similar to this: .. image:: Bx_fit_gtr.png .. image:: sw_gtr.png Submitting the GTR model run ************************************* Finally, submit the model run using the script generated by ``engage.py``. You will see the resulting PBS job ID (your job ID will differ from what is shown below). .. code-block:: bash bash geospace_pbs.sh 9770226.desched1 9770227.desched1 9770228.desched1 9770229.desched1 9770230.desched1 9770231.desched1 9770232.desched1 9770233.desched1 9770234.desched1 9770235.desched1 9770236.desched1 9770237.desched1 9770238.desched1 9770239.desched1 9770240.desched1 Understanding the output files of the GTR model run ************************************************************************** Once the job is started in the queue, it should take about 80 minutes to run (on ``derecho``). When complete, you will see many new HDF5 files in your run directory, along with PBS housekeeping files and logs. The most important files are (repeated upper-case letters in the names represent integer strings): * ``geospace_LLLLL_MMMMM_NNNNN_IIIII_JJJJJ_KKKKK.gam.h5`` These files contain the core MHD variables from the simulation, computed by the GAMERA portion of the MAGE model. The strings ``LLLLL``, ``MMMMM``, and ``NNNNN`` contain the number of subsections of the ``X``, ``Y``, and ``Z`` dimensions used to divide the domain among MPI ranks. The strings ``IIIII``, ``JJJJJ``, and ``KKKKK`` represent the MPI rank index along each dimension. * ``geospace.mix.h5`` This file contains the results from the `REMIX `_ portion of the `MAGE `_ model. * ``geospace.raiju.h5`` This file contains the results from the RAIJU portion of the `MAGE `_ model. * ``geospace_sech_*.nc`` These are secondary output files that contain the results from the `TIEGCM `_ portion of the `MAGE `_ model. * ``geospace_*.gam.Res.RRRRR.h5`` These are checkpoint files generated during the simulation which can be used as restart points for future simulations. * ``geospace_prim_*.nc`` These are the primary output files from the TIEGCM portion of the model that are designed as checkpoint files. * ``geospace_temp_*.nc`` These are temporary output files from the TIEGCM portion of the model Visualizing the results ----------------------- Now perform a quick visualization of the results from your model using the ``msphpic.py`` script, provided in the ``kaipy`` package. .. code-block:: bash msphpic.py -id geospace This script will create a file called ``qkmsphpic.png``, which should look similar to this: .. image:: qkmsphpic_gtr.png
