Structure

Structure#

CrocoDash is designed to be one tool that manages the workflow from input data sources into a regional MOM6 in CESM run. It can be structured into three sections:

  1. Grid Generation

  2. CESM Interface / Case Creation

  3. Forcing File Generation

Grid Generation#

CrocoDash wraps the mom6_bathy module for supergrid, vertical grid, and topo generation. One function that doesn’t come from mom6_bathy is interpolate_from_file, which is a wrapper around RM6 setup_bathymetry

Case Creation#

CrocoDash wraps the VisualCaseGen module for case creation with some light argument passing.

Forcing File Generation#

CrocoDash wraps RM6 to provide Initial & Boundary Conditions

Workflow Diagram#

The following diagram illustrates the workflow of CrocoDash to set up a regional model:
