ModelHandler

Base class for all specific model handler.
class model_handling_CCLM.ModelHandler(global_settings, my_directory)

Bases: model_handling.ModelHandlerBase

Base class for all specific model handler.

This constructor must be called in the constructor of the child class as e.g. ModelHandlerBase.__init__(self, model_handling.ModelTypes.bottom, global_settings, my_directory) The child class must be implmented as ModelHandler in a python module called model_handling_ABCD.py where ABCD is a four letter acronym of your model.

Parameters

  • global_settings (class:GlobalSettings) – Object containing the global settings

  • my_directory (str) – Name of the model’s input folder, usually model_domain, e.g. MOM5_Baltic. IMPORTANT: model names can only have four letters as e.g. MOM5, CCLM, GETM etc.

  • model_type (str) – Must be one of attributes of class ModelTypes

create_work_directory(self, work_directory_root, start_date, end_date)

Method to perform model-specific steps for creating the work directory.

This method is overwritten by the child class and will be called after the work directory has been created and the content of the input folder has been copied to that work directory.

It should typically do:

  • Copy the executable(s) to the work directory (not into subfolders)

  • Apply current start date and end date to input files

Parameters

  • work_directory_root (str) – Is the local work directory common to all models, thus it is one lvel above my_directory

  • start_date (str) – Start date of the current working period, format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20220325 for the 25th of March 2022

  • end_date (str) – End date of the current working period, format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20220325 for the 25th of March 2022

check_for_success(self, work_directory_root, start_date, end_date)

Method to check if model run was successful or not.

This method is overwritten by the child class and will be called after the MPI task has finished.

It should typically do:

  • Check for the existence of some specific output files.

Parameters

  • work_directory_root (str) – Is the local work directory common to all models, thus it is one lvel above my_directory

  • start_date (str) – Start date of the current working period, format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20220325 for the 25th of March 2022

  • end_date (str) – End date of the current working period, format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20220325 for the 25th of March 2022

Returns

True if model has finished successfully, False otherwise

Return type

bool

move_results(self, work_directory_root, start_date, end_date)

Method to move results from work to output folder.

This method is overwritten by the child class and will be called after the check_for_success method has returned True.

It should typically do:

  • Move all files you want to keep that are used or produced by your model.

Parameters

  • work_directory_root (str) – Is the local work directory common to all models, thus it is one lvel above my_directory

  • start_date (str) – Start date of the current working period, format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20220325 for the 25th of March 2022

  • end_date (str) – End date of the current working period, format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20220325 for the 25th of March 2022

grid_convert_to_SCRIP(self)
get_model_executable(self)

Method to get the name of the model’s excutable.

This method is overwritten by the child class and will be called when the MPI run script is created.

It should typically do:

  • Return the name of the executable that is located in your work directory after create_work_directory has been called.

Returns

Name of the excutable, e.g. “fms_MOM_SIS.x”

Return type

str

get_num_threads(self)

Method to get the number of threads the model is using.

This method is overwritten by the child class and will be called when the paralleization layout is created.

It should typically do:

  • Return the number of threads using e.g. settings in the model’s input files.

Returns

Number of used threads

Return type

int

previous
