At UQAM GenPhysX is only working on alea.
To get access to GenPhysix you need to load:
module load utils/SPI
As input GenPhysX needs to know the model grid in form of the tictacs for the full model grid. On our UQAM servers you can create them from your gem_settings.nml with the command:
~winger/ovbin/k.grille
The file you need as input for GenPhysX is called "tape1_model".
For the different available datasets check here.
When using USGS set:
TOPO=USGS
VEGE=USGS_R
MASK=USGS_R
SOIL=JPL
VEGE=USGS_R
MASK=USGS_R
SOIL=JPL
When using CCI-LC set:
TOPO=GMTED75 # missing Antarctica and Greenland!!!
or
TOPO=GMTED30 # lower resolution
VEGE=CCI_LC
MASK=CCI_LC
SOIL=BNU
