ABOUT:
This code is the simulates the Cloud_cci CDR cloud products (http://www.esa-cloud-cci.org/) based on a model atmosphere. The simulator is described in (https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2018-212)
NOTE:
*) The code is written in fortran 90
*) The simulator currently expects input from model netcdf files (daily or monthly files have been tested) and writes daily output files
*) The Cloud_cci product simulator is aimed to be included in the COSP in the future. See https://doi.org/10.1175/2011BAMS2856.1 and https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2017-148. Several subroutines from the original COSP repository are used for compatibility.
*) The executable expects a namelist as input. An example namelist containing mostly containing paths, dates and other options can be used.
*) So far the simulator was tested on input from the EC Earth Earth system and RACMO models.
*) Any bug discoveries or suggestions can be sent to salomon.eliasson@smhi.se
INSTRUCTIONS:
*) The code can be compiled using ifort or gfortan using 'make cloud_cci'
*) Run the simulator by '.cloud_cci.x namelist_cloud_cci
*) See simulator paper for details on input and output
