Other than GEM, SPS does not offer the possibility to write and read restart files. Therefore, at the end of each job all fields needed to start another simulation need to get outputted. The next job will then use the output of the previous job as initial conditions. See below under 'outcfg.out' which fields these are.
SPS 6.1.1 uses the same physics version as GEM 5.1.1.

You can copy the scripts from the following directory:

| cp -p ~winger/SPS/v_6.1.1/Scripts_latest_version/* ~/SPS/v_6.1.1/Scripts |
Executable
The following is a recipe to create your own executable:
...
c) Clone the SPS Git repository you want to start from, for example:
| Volet |
|---|
Original version from RPN: Modified UQAM version including FLake & CLASS: |
Then change into 'sps' directory that came with the clone:

ISBA
The following is a list of mandatory initial condition fields for ISBA:
...
SD : VD=snow depth DN : VD=relative snow density I0 : VD=surface and soil temperatures I1 : VD=soil volumetric water contents I2 : VD=soil volumetric ice contents I3 : VD=water retained on the vegetation I4 : VD=water in the snow pack
I5 : VD=snow mass
I6 : VD=albedo of snow I7 : VD=sea ice temperature I8 : VD=sea ice thickness I9 : VD=glacier temperature
FLake
The following is a list of mandatory initial condition fields for FLake:
| Volet |
|---|
| sortie_p([LIFV,LWFV,LIFR,LITH,LITP,LTRN,LMLD,LSF,LBTP,LWTP,LMLT] ... |
CLASS
When running CLASS, in addition to the ISBA fields above one also needs to output the following fields:
...
To launch the simulation you just have to execute the command:
| Volet |
|---|
| SPS_lance |
4) Check progress
You can check the progress of an SPS simulation the same way as for GEM by executing 'u.tail' on the model listing under ~/listings/${TRUE_HOST}:
| Volet |
|---|
| u.tail model_listing |
Note that model listings will not - yet - get archived at the and of a job as done in GEM!
Restart / Continue a simulation
First, make sure all previous model output has been moved to the archive directory. To do that, go into your config file directory and execute the post pocessing script with:
| Volet |
|---|
| bash SPS_pp_job.sh |
Then resubmit the simulation from the last initial condition output you have with:
| Volet |
|---|
| SPS_lance -JOB_startdate YYYY MM DD hh |
Where "YYYY MM DD hh" is the start date and hour of the job you want to start within the whole simulation, which is probably the date of your last initial condition output.
