Wiki¶

snowtools_git is a series of mostly python scripts that are designed to make our life simpler in terms of pre- and post-processing of SURFEX-Crocus snow model.

Note that this package is only useful for people interested in using numerical codes of snowpack modelling on a Linux environment. The package does not include any meteorological or snow data.
It must be used in association with the SURFEX project ( http://www.cnrm-game-meteo.fr/surfex//spip.php )

General informations about snowpack modelling with SURFEX-Crocus can be found here: http://www.cnrm-game-meteo.fr/spip.php?rubrique73

Procedure for new users

First installation¶

1. Install snowtools
2. Install SURFEX
3. Install VORTEX only for Meteo France HPC system
4. First test

First simulations for SURFEX: the Meteo-France surface model, which includes the Crocus snow cover model¶

• Few infos on SURFEX-Crocus simulations
• Run a SURFEX-Crocus experiment without vortex
• Development in progress
• About CSELECT options

Snowtools: code library to launch, pre or post process SURFEX-Crocus simulations¶

• Meteo France members should use (and contribute to) Technical documentation
• Install interpolator (optional)

Infos if you are out of the Meteo France intranet:

• Structure of the snowtools code
• Rules of coding for developers for snowtools
• Plot SURFEX-Crocus outputs

SURFEX-Crocus: infos for developers¶

• Rules coding for SURFEX-Crocus
• Add diagnostic in SURFEX-Crocus
• Debug SURFEX-Crocus

Vortex: code library specific to HPC Meteo France system¶

• Run a SURFEX-Crocus experiment with vortex
• Download SURFEX-Crocus outputs from vortex experiments
