Examples of parameter file "data.exch2" can be found here; Some dimension files "SIZE.h" which match the "data.exch2" files are also provided. naming convention: llc_120 : lat-lon-cap grid, 120-360-120 (=nRed,nGreen,nBlue) (grid-files in MITgcm_contrib/llc_120/grid_files ) SIZE.h.14t_120x120 : llc_120 grid, 6-facets, tiles size = 120x120, no blank tiles (<=> largest tile size => minimum total Nb of tiles = 14) SIZE.h.156t_20x60 : can be used with: llc_120, 6-facets, tiles = 20x60 + 12 blank tiles or llc_120, 5-facets, tiles = 20x60 , no blank tiles or cs-180, 6-facets, tiles = 20x60 + 6 blank tiles data.exch2.llc_120_6f : llc_120, 6-facets, no blank tiles works for any tiling of facets and in particular with SIZE.h.14t_120x120 data.exch2.llc_120_6f.168t-12b : llc_120, 6-facets, 168 tiles - 12 blank tiles = 156 active tiles Notes: list and number of blank-tiles generaly depend on tiling of facets; however, to blank out the last facet just requires listing all tiles of the last facets and does not depend on precise tile-size but just on Number of tiles. works with SIZE.h.156t_20x60 (and also SIZE.h.156t_60x20 <- not provided) data.exch2.llc_120_5f : llc_120, 5-facets (drop the last one), no blank tiles works for any facet tiling, and in particular with SIZE.h.156t_20x60 data.exch2.cs180.162t-6b_20x60 : regular CS-180 cube, 162 tiles - 6 blank (on face 2 along the Eq) = 156 active T. would work with SIZE.h.156t_20x60 (but what about grid-files ?)
