All model "data" output is written in RPN standard files.
There are different types of data the model can output:
| Sommaire |
|---|
- "normal" 2-D and 3-D output
- Time series (station data)
- Zonal means (rarely used)
- Pilot files
- Analysis files
Click on the following link for a description of the most common variables: variable dictionaries
The model will also save these other files:
All files above are stored in 'machine:directory' as specified by 'CLIMAT_arch_mach' and 'CLIMAT_archdir' in the file 'configexp.cfg'.
The files are organized into the following subdirectories:
| Samples | Raw n-hourly/minutely model output |
| Diagnostics | Monthly means, variances, and timeseries calculated/assembled by the post processing (only if CLIMAT_diagnos=1 ) |
| Analysis | Initial conditions files which can be used to initialize another simulations (only if CLIMAT_out_anal is set) |
| Pilots | Pilot files which can be used to drive another simulation at the lateral boundaries (only if CLIMAT_out_pilot is set) |
| Listings | Model listings, jobs, and config files |
| Restarts | Restart files which can be used to restart a simulation from given check points. Once a simulation is finished remove several of these files to only keep 1 or 2 per year, since they are fairly large. |
...
- monthly means and variances calculated for all model output fields
- 2-D time series for selected fields (if requested and available)
Time series (station data)
In addition to the general 2-D and 3-D output, GEM/GEMCLIM can output time series at selected grid points (stations).
...
These files will get archive in the directory named "Pilots". They contain all fields needed to drive a simulation at the lateral boundaries.

While the model is running the listings (log files) will appear under the directory:
~/listings/${TRUE_HOST}
There names will all start with ${GEM_exp}_* (as defined in your 'configexp.cfg').
Once a job/month finished properly they will all get archived under:
${CLIMAT_archdir}/Listings/listings_${GEM_exp}.zip
'CLIMAT_archdir' is also defined in your 'configexp.cfg'.
Actually, there are up to four zip files under ${CLIMAT_archdir}/Listings/listings_${GEM_exp}.zip:
| listings_*.zip | Contains all listings (log files) of finished simulations and their post processing |
| configs_*.zip | Contains a copy of all used config files (they get updated during a simulation |
| jobs_*.zip | Contains all model and post processing jobs which were created and ran |
| cjobs_*.zip | If Chunk_lance was used this file contains all "chunk" jobs |
