TIE-GCM 2.0-foss-2018b

Deprecated: Use of this version of TIE-GCM is deprecated. More information on our Applications Support and Retention Policy.

There is a newer version of TIE-GCM

The NCAR Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIE-GCM) is a comprehensive, first-principles, three-dimensional, non-linear representation of the coupled thermosphere and ionosphere system that includes a self-consistent solution of the middle and low-latitude dynamo field. The model solves the three-dimensional momentum, energy and continuity equations for neutral and ion species at each time step, using a semi-implicit, fourth-order, centered finite difference scheme on each pressure surface in a staggered vertical grid. It can be run in either serial or parallel mode on a variety of platforms, including Linux workstations and supercomputers.

Accessing TIE-GCM 2.0-foss-2018b

To load the module for TIE-GCM 2.0-foss-2018b please use this command on the BEAR systems (BlueBEAR, BEARCloud VMs, and CaStLeS VMs):

module load TIE-GCM/2.0-foss-2018b

BEAR Apps Version

2018b

Architectures

EL8-cascadelake — EL8-haswell — Ubuntu20.04-haswell

The listed architectures consist of two part: OS-CPU.

  • BlueBEAR: The OS used on BlueBEAR is represented by EL and there are several different processor (CPU) types available on BlueBEAR. More information about the processor types on BlueBEAR is available on the BlueBEAR Job Submission page.
  • BEAR and CaStLeS Cloud VMs: These VMs can have one of two OSes. Those with access to a BEAR Cloud or CaStLeS VM should check that the listed architectures for an application include the OS of VM being used. The VMs, irrespective of OS, will use the haswell CPU type.

Using TIE-GCM

These environment variables are defined once the TIE-GCM module has been loaded:

  • TIEGCM_MAKEBLUEBEAR - the filename of a TIE-GCM makefile suitable for use on BlueBEAR
  • TIEGCM_RES50 - the TIE-GCM 5.0 data
  • TIEGCM_RES25 - the TIE-GCM 2.5 data
