=== How to get the source code ===

The source code of the pos package is under control of the CVS (Concurrent Version System) utility.
To get the source code the environment variable CVSROOT must be set to ''/usr/local/icg/icg1/archive''.
The command
{{{
cvs co -P pos
}}}
creates a directory ''pos'' in the current working directory and copies the current version of the pos package to this directory.

The directory ''pos'' includes the following subdirectories:
 * ''data'': some data files necessary for initialization with a passive tracer
 * ''doc'': latex file for documentation
 * ''mod'': module files
 * ''obj'': object files
 * ''source'': source code
 * ''templates'': templates for the configuration files

=== Compiling ===

The programs can be compiled on different platforms with the command
{{{
make prog_name
}}}
leading to an executable file with same name in the ''pos'' directory.
 
To compile programs in package ''pos'' the package [[dynmod]] must be checked out too.

The package pos

The package pos helps to create an ensemble of n APs. Especially, their initial special positions (described in isentropic coordinates spanned by longitude, latitude and the potential temperature) and their initial times (in Julian seconds) can be created. The geometric properties (positions, Voronoi areas,...) and the dynamical properties (PV, EQLAT, TEMP, PRESS,....) of the APs are derived from the meteorological input files using the pos***-family of the programs.

Available programs

The subdirectory source contains the following programs:

  • add_flightpath.f90: Add positions of a flightpath to a pos file
  • pos_3d.f90: Different 2d or 3d initial configurations

  • pos_area.f90: 2d or 3d initial positions of APs with equal isentropic areas (+ PV_INIT)

  • pos_chem.f90: modifies chemical fields (O3, HCL etc) in init-files on lower and upper bound

  • pos_dyn.f90: This program completes the geometric positions of the APs with their dynamical properties, i.e.~PV, EQLAT, TEMP, PRESS,...

  • pos_example.f90: An easy example how to create the initial positions of APs
  • pos_flightpath.f90: Create pos file with positions along flightpath
  • pos_voronoi.f90: Voronoi areas are calculated and added to the pos/init-file

Output Files

Each pos_* program creates an output file in NetCDF data format. It is named:

  • pos_xxx_yymmddhh.nc

    xxx : prefix, 1-3 characters
    yymmddhh : year, month, day, hour
    e. g.: pos_ABC_99022812.nc

In this file the starting positions of the trajectories (longitudes, latitudes and theta) are stored on the variables LAT, LON and THETA. The corresponding starting times are saved on the variable TIME_INIT. Furthermore, the variables PV_INIT, EQLAT, TEMP, PRESS, TND (density) and VORONOI_AREA can be created.
