2 Introduction & Overview
Introduction: Testing to verify reproducible climate model output Overview: Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC) climate models Initial state of development and testing Model Restartability Future developments © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

3 MOHC Models – HadGEM3 Scientific configurations
GA7, GL7, GO6, GSI8, GC3.1 Component applications & libraries UM, NEMO, CICE Auxiliary: XIOS, oasis3-mct Workflow: rose, post-processing, drivers Developed by consortia © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

4 NEMO UM CICE JULES XIOS UM IOS, Stash Main technical components
OASIS3- MCT Cycling CICE JULES Archiving, Post-processing X nodes Y nodes Main technical components Embedded components Increased Technicality Rose suites Coupler IO subsystems © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

5 Development hierarchy

6 Initial State of Models
Rigorous, formal, operational forecast requirements UM, NEMO Informal, research-oriented CICE, XIOS, scientific configurations Disparity between tests and climate experiments Goal: check technical requirements of coupled model Starting point: state of atmosphere model © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

7 Testing Scientific Software
Validation vs Verification Scientists – validation: Model correctly describes physical processes Scientific Software Engineers – verification: Model is correctly implemented Meets technical requirements e.g. performance, restartability © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

9 Implementing restart tests
Component tests (rose stem tests) Small and fast Run frequently Climate experiment (suite tests) Closer to actual configuration More resource-hungry © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

10 Implementation Challenges
Getting scientists to understand there is a problem! Missing documentation Additional bugs © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

11 Current state Restart tests in components and model configuration
Nightly tests to verify new developments © Crown Copyright 2017, Met Office

12 Future work Testing additional models & requirements
