Forcings
Inputs refers to the input methods used to fetch the initial conditions. If the model need data during the run (dynamic forcings), the forcings will be fetched by default from the same source as the input. However, you can specify a different source.
The example below shows an example where the forcings are fetched from
mars
while the initial conditions are fetched from test
.
input: test
forcings: mars
This example above is a shortcut for:
forcing:
input: mars
You can also specify different sources for each forcing.
This is to get the initial constant forcings from a file:
forcing:
constant:
grib: constant.grib
Get the dynamic forcings from mars:
forcing:
dynamic: mars
And the LAM boundary conditions from a mars as well:
forcing:
boundary: mars
In the case of the last three type of forcings, it they are not specified, the value of forcings.input will be used. It this value is not specified, the value of input will then be used.
