This wiki is dedicated to the RegIPSL regional climate model of IPSL applied to the Mediterranean. This regional Earth system models couples the following components : WRF, ORCHIDEE, NEMO and CHIMERE. The coupling between these components has been achieved with the OASIS3-mct coupler.

The main region of application for this model is the Mediterranean but it will also used for other regions like South America and South East Asia. Some standard configurations are provided with the code to facilitate the learning process.

In this Wiki we will provide information on the configuration of each of the components and knowledge about the coupling and the IT infrastructure put in place.

• Configuration of WRF
• Configuration of ORCHIDEE
• Configuration of NEMO
• Configuration of CHIMERE
• Configuration of OASIS

• organization of the code and other files
• Using Git
• Compiling the code
• Executing a test case
• Using WRF-ORCHIDEE script
• Using libIGCM to run RegIPSL
• Building Boundary conditions for WRF (geogrid & metgrid)
• Proposed procedure to spin-up ORCHIDEE within RegIPSL

• Developments and Validations
• Reference simulations
• Forum for discussing MORCE issues
• Tests and other items to keep in memory

• Some presentations on RegIPSL
• Regular meetings of the coordination group are held to discuss the evolution of the model each Thursday at 11:00 at LMD-Polytechnique with a video-conferencing link-up.
• Information is distributed through the following mailing lists :
  • [morecemed-senior] : Information fr the model developers and regarding the coordination group meetings.
  • [morecemed-dev] : A report on any commits being uploaded to the repository.
