First forward simulation (ready-made input files)#
This is the recommended starting point for new users, especially those using the pyCIF Docker image. The ready-made input files (reference data) are the same files used by the CI pipeline, so they are guaranteed to work with the provided YAML examples.
Tip
Download the CHIMERE reference data
The reference test data consists of two archives hosted on the LSCE Sharebox.
Extract both into the same directory (/tmp/PYCIF_DATA_TEST/ below, or any path of your choice):
wget https://sharebox.lsce.ipsl.fr/index.php/s/zUpoUXODKFLZJrf/download -O data1.tar.gz
wget https://sharebox.lsce.ipsl.fr/index.php/s/GgTDXL8peF4BOuV/download -O data2.tar.gz
mkdir -p /tmp/PYCIF_DATA_TEST
tar -xf data1.tar.gz -C /tmp/PYCIF_DATA_TEST
tar -xf data2.tar.gz -C /tmp/PYCIF_DATA_TEST
Once extracted, /tmp/PYCIF_DATA_TEST/ should contain a CHIMERE/ subdirectory.
Set rootdir and outdir in the YAML to match your local paths.
The tutorials below explain each section of the YAML configuration in detail. Complete, ready-to-run YAML files can be downloaded from Examples of configuration files.
