README.md -- Describes contents of hemco_standalone_full 01 Aug 2014 Christoph Keller and the GEOS-Chem Support Team ckeller@seas.harvard.edu and geos-chem-support@as.harvard.edu

Description:

The hemco_standalone_full/ repository contains the makefile that will automatically download and build the following codes:

(1) NcdfUtilities: (2) HEMCO (Harvard-NASA Emissions Component)

Installation:

Please see our HEMCO Installation Guide for complete installation instructions:

http://wiki.geos-chem.org/HEMCO_installation_guide

HEMCO requires that your system have a netCDF library installation, which can be either the newer (netCDF-4) or older (netCDF-classic) versions.

The build sequence involves the following steps:

(1) Making sure you have a version of the netCDF library installed on your system. See this section of the HEMCO installation guide for more information:

  http://wiki.geos-chem.org/HEMCO_installation_guide#Installing_the_netCDF_libraries 

(2) Setting the proper environment variables. See this section of the HEMCO installation guide for more information:

 http://wiki.geos-chem.org/HEMCO_installation_guide#Setting_environment_variables_for_HEMCO_installation

(3) Installing HEMCO and the NcdfUtilities package. See this section of the HEMCO installation for more information:

 http://wiki.geos-chem.org/HEMCO_installation_guide#Installing_HEMCO_and_the_NcdfUtilities_packages 

(3a) As described in the above link, the installation sequence involves a couple of simple steps:

 git clone https://github.com/christophkeller/hemco_standalone_full
 cd hemco_standalone_full
 make >& log

Upon successful installation, an HEMCO example simulation is performed. The resulting log file and ncdf emission field are written into the directory: HEMCO/examples/example1/output/
