Installation

Using the NUM model requires the fortran library files, the matlab code, an input file, and the transport matrices.

The fortran library is available on the GitHub site, but if you want to compile it yourself you must look on the wiki page with compilation instructions. The matlab code needs to be on the path. The file input/input.h needs to be in the directory below the current working directory (i.e. in ../input/input.h). Finally, the tranport matrices must be downloaded and put into the location '../TMs' (again in the directory below the working directory). The NUM model uses the matrix MITgcm_2.8deg for the global runs as default, and the higher resolution MITgcm_ECCO as the default for the water column simulations.

Further, matlab requires some additions. On windows it requires the Matlab MEX module to be installed (Home -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> MATLAB Support for MinGW-w64 C/C++ Compiler); on Mac it requires Xcode to be installed.

Test the installation by running baserunChemostat, baserunWatercolumn, and baserunGlobal.
