RTFDDA/CFDDA/E-RTFDDARepositories - CVS • CVS • Source Code • All the compiled code that is used to run RTFDDA or CFDDA jobs • apps/4dwx/RTFDDA/src • Scripts • All the scripts used to run RTFDDA or CFDDA jobs • apps/4dwx/RTFDDA/scripts • Some project-unique scripts are checked in with the project-definition • Data ingest scripts that run only on the data hosts are not here… • Scripts are a bit more scattered, depending on function – the core is here, the “extras” are sometimes elsewhere in CVS • Templates • A series of template scripts to help set up and configure a new job • Model Manager framework only • RTFDDA or CFDDA, MM5 or WRF • Project/Job definitions • The job definition parameter files, submit-scripts, namelists, terrain files, etc needed to define a job or project configuration • In CVS under projects/… such as: • projects/4dwx/RTFDDA/GWDPG
RTFDDA/CFDDA/E-RTFDDARepositories - Data • Data - Real Time • Goals: • Minimize data fetches from data providers to NCAR/RAL (or remote install site) for bandwidth and data-provider server performance issues • Provide redundancy within reasonable cost/effort expenditure • NCAR/RAL RealTime data sources: • All real time data feeds are initially ingested using two duplicate data ingest hosts, das-input1 and das-input2. These are physically separated machines (for redundancy during Computer room outages). • Real time data is rsync’d by each Model Applications Cluster (MAC) from one of these data-ingest machines, with the data-pull script having a auto-failover to try the second machine if the first is not responding.
RTFDDA/CFDDA/E-RTFDDARepositories - Data • Data – Climatology • CFDDA jobs use datasets collected and processed by CISL (?) and stored on the NCAR-MSS. A copy of this dataset is kept on the MAC that is being used for CFDDA jobs (dtra-c2, smac-c2, ngic-c1) • Plans are in progress to implement a different data storage solution for these shared datasets so that copies are not needed, but data performance has no simple answer

ResourcesMailing lists, MM working group • Fdda-dev@rap.ucar.edu • Ral-mail-list (archived, list-manager) • http://mail.rap.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fdda-dev • Model Manager working group • Meets Tuesdays at 11:00, RAL main conf room (2nd floor) • All projects using RT/C/ERT-FDDA should have a representative attend the meetings • Any discussion of the infrastructure, or issues common to all projects will be discussed and decided within this meeting
Example System • www.4dwx.org/images/atc/rtfdda_gmod/model.html • There is a convention for naming and finding RTFDDA output and webpages! • Where might the WSMR MM5 job output be found? • A “job” generally refers to a configuration, which includes the geographic location, the cluster it’s running on, all the options selected, real-time or climo or case-study, ensemble or not,etc. • Each job will generally produce some web graphics, and some status reports, and other optional output, depending on the configuration.
“Range” Output Valid Time Cycle Time Fcst Hours
Questions • What cluster is this system running on? • How many domains are configured? • What is the typical forecast length produced? • How often is it cycling? • Is it running MM5 or WRF?
