Detailed instructions on how to do this are included in the `README.md `_ for the Socrates test-case: ``exp/test_cases/socrates_test/README.md``. * The basis of ``socrates_interface`` was coded by Mark Hammond (Univ. of Oxford) and James Manners (Met Office) and modified by Stephen Thomson (Univ. of Exeter) [Thomson_and_Vallis2019]_. Features added include seasonality in the radiation based on Isca's ``astronomy`` package, and the ability to use a ``radiation timestep != atmospheric timestep``. * Socrates radiation scheme requires ``mass mixing ratios`` for all quantities (e.g. CO2, water vapor etc). This contrasts with RRTM, which wants ``volume mixing ratios``. diff --git a/exp/test_cases/socrates_test/README.md b/exp/test_cases/socrates_test/README.md index 937ce0f73..f7b2bd2bb 100644 --- a/exp/test_cases/socrates_test/README.md +++ b/exp/test_cases/socrates_test/README.md @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ Access to this website requires a user account on the Met Office's Science Repos `https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/home` -To download a packaged release of Socrates, click on the `tar.xz` file of the latest version.
