speedy.f90 is an intermediate complexity atmospheric general circulation model written in modern Fortran. It is based on SPEEDY, developed by Fred Kucharski, Franco Molteni and Martin P. King.
speedy.f90 has only one dependency: the NetCDF library. To build speedy.f90:
- Install the NetCDF library and locate the install directory. For example, on my system it is stored in
/usr. - Set the
NETCDFenvironment variable to point to the directory containing the NetCDFincludeandlibdirectories. For example, for my system I runexport NETCDF=/usr. - Run
build.shto build speedy.f90:bash build.sh. A binary directory,bin, will be created an the speedy.f90 executablespeedywill be placed in this directory. - Run
run.shto run speedy.f90:bash run.sh. The output will be stored inrundir. By default, speedy.f90 will run for two days and output one NetCDF file for each time step.
