Standalone

Everything needed to set up EMC_verif-global to run standalone will be contained in the your clone from GitHub.

1. Set up configuration file

The default configuration file for EMC_verif-global is parm/config/config.vrfy. It is recommended that users create a copy or copies of this configuration file for their own verification purposes. The user customized configuration file(s) can live wherever and be named whatever a user desires.

Within the configuration file are switches to run the various types of verifications listed in the About section. To run, set the switch to YES, if not set the switch to NO. Switches with "STEP1" at the end (RUN_GRID2GRID_STEP1, RUN_GRID2OBS_STEP1, RUN_PRECIP_STEP1, RUN_SATELLITE_STEP1) are for commuting various statistics, and switches with "STEP2" at the end (RUN_GRID2GRID_STEP2, RUN_GRID2OBS_STEP2, RUN_PRECIP_STEP2, RUN_SATELLITE_STEP2) are for creating plots. In order to run the "STEP2" switches, the corresponding "STEP1" switch will have needed to be run prior.

Then, follows a section of settings that generally apply to running all the verification types. Finally, each verification type/switch has its own section of settings specifically related to it.

2. Run

To run, from the top directory users will move to the ush directory. Here is the script run_verif_global.sh that runs EMC_verif-global. It takes one run time argument which is the path to the configuration file that the user wishes to run with. If none is given it will default to using config.vrfy. And example run time command may look like below

$ ./run_verif_global.sh ../parm/config/config.vrfy.example
