Overview

Sami2py is a python module that runs the sami2 model, as well as archives, loads and plots the resulting modeled values.

Installation

First, checkout the repository:

    $ git clone [email protected]:jklenzing/sami2py.git;

Change directories into the repository folder and run the setup.py file. For a local install use the "--user" flag after "install".

    $ cd sami2py/
    $ python setup.py install

Additionally, you must make and install the fortran executables.

  $ cd sami2py/fortran
  $ make clean
  $ make compile

Now you can run the sami2 executable (sami2low.x) from anywhere.

Example

In iPython, run:

  $ import sami2py

  $ day = 210
  $ year = 2012
  $ lon = 0

  $ sami2py.run_model(day=day,year=year,lon=lon)

Note that the sami2 model runs for 24 hours to clear transients, then begins to output data.

Now load the resultant data:

  $ S = sami2py.model(tag='test',lon=lon,year=year,day=day)
