Getting Started

Step 1. Know Requirements

  • Hardware: Intel machine with RAM of 2GB or more.
  • Operating System: Linux OS on single platform or clusters.
  • Dependencies:
    - Fortran 90/95 (known to work with ifort 12 and newer)
    - NetCDF for Intel Fortran (version 4.2 and newer )
    - A 'make' command

Step 2. Download and Compile UNL-VRTM Code

  • Obtain the UNL-VRTM code by sending us your request (It only takes less than a minute).
  • Follow the user's guide. The user's guide takes you through step-by-step instructions.

Step 3. Run UNL-VRTM for Your Own Project

  • Again, follow the steps with the UNL-VRTM user's guide.
  • Check out the Python utility module to facilitate your UNL-VRTM simulation and analysis.
  • You might also find the UNL-VRTM journal paper useful, as it introduce the principles and potential applications of UNL-VRTM. Please note, you must cite this paper if you use UNL-VRTM for your projects.

Step 4. Explore More

  • Check out a variety of applications with UNL-VRTM.
  • Want to closely follow code updates? UNL-VRTM code is available over GIT protocol at gitlab.com. Simply signup gitlab.com and notify us your account ID. This also vastly helps with tracking developments and keeping up with model updates.
