Running RT Tests

Instructions for Running UPP Standalone Regression Tests on Supported Systems

by: Wen Meng, 12/15/2020

To conduct UPP regression tests on WCOSS2, Hera and Orion:

1. Set up your working directory $workdir
2. Copy rt_for_developer.sh into $workdir
   • WCOSS2: /u/wen.meng/noscrub/ncep_post/post_regression_test_new/scripts
   • Hera: /work/noaa/epic/UPP
   • Orion: /work/noaa/epic/UPP
3. Modify rt_for_developer.sh
   • test_v: the path of your test UPP version
   • build_exe: building executable or not
   • run_XXX(gfs, gefs): choose specific model for testing
     • run_gfs: GFS test
     • run_gefs: GEFS test
     • run_nmmb: NAM test
     • run_fv3r: RRFS test
     • run_hafs: HAFS test
     • run_rtma: 3D RTMA test
     • run_hrrr: HRRR test
     • run_RAP: RAP test
4. Run tests

   ./rt_for_developer.sh
   

5. Check test results
   • Look into the test summary at $workdir/rt.log.* if any tests are failed or have result changes.
   • If a specified test is failed, you may look into its runtime log from $workdir/work/* (e.g., fv3gefs_*)
   • If a specified test has result changes, you may look into the list of changed results diff from run directory $rundir/ to verify expected changes with your development.
