1.2. Quick StartΒΆ

Download the model from the CICE-Consortium repository,

https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE

Instructions for working in github with CICE (and Icepack) can be found in the CICE Git and Workflow Guide.

You will probably have to download some inputdata, see the CICE wiki or Forcing data.

Software requirements are noted in this Software Requirements section.

From your main CICE directory, execute:

./cice.setup -c ~/mycase1 -g gx3 -m testmachine -s diag1,thread -p 8x1
cd ~/mycase1
./cice.build
./cice.submit

testmachine is a generic machine name included with the cice scripts. The local machine name will have to be substituted for testmachine and there are working ports for several different machines. However, it may be necessary to port the model to a new machine. See Porting for more information about how to port. See Scripts for more information about how to use the cice.setup and cice.submit scripts.

Please cite any use of the CICE code. More information can be found at Citing the CICE code.
