pangeo-AMPS is a repo for working with AMPS output (i.e. raw WRF output files) in a cloud environment.

Very early stages - currently just notebooks for creating and uploading zarr files directly to ldeo-glaciology's Google Cloud Storage bucket

AMPS grids

In Stage 1, ldeo-glaciology will be working primarily with two AMPS domains, the Ross sector (domain 3) and the Antarctic Peninsula (domain 6). We anticipate the larger pan-Antarctic domain (d02) in the near future.

(reminder, WRF uses a staggered grid to aid in spatial discretization, in this case the Arikawa-C grid)

Domain	Current Res (km)	dims
Ross (d03)	2.67	675 x 1035
AP (d06)	2.67	651 x 570

More info on these domains can be found at Kevin's AMPS site

Moving AMPS output from NCAR to the bucket

1. Log in to dataaccess node.

2. Retrieve data from archive

   2.1 HPSS

   List files on HPSS

   hsi ls -l /AMPSRT/

   either manually `` or write/execute script to pull from tape archive

   ./test_hsiget_batch.sh > & log.txt &

   check what you did:

   ll wrfout_d06_2019090* | du ll wrfout_d06_2019090* | du -h

3. Transfer to Google Bucket

   Install gsutil

    I just follow this [link](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install)
   

   curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

   Add sdk directory to your path (cshell example), and restart shell:

   setenv PATH $PATH\:$HOME/bin\:$HOME/google-cloud-sdk/bin\:.

   exec $SHELL -l

   Initialize

   gcloud init

   3.3 Transfer using rsync

   Options: -m for multithreaded, -r recursive, -d directory, -n for a dry-run (USEFUL!)

   gsutil -m rsync -r WRF_24 gs://ldeo-glaciology/AMPS/WRF_24/ > & log.txt &

   or be a little more crafty (-x to exclude a pattern)...

   gsutil -m rsync -n -x "wrfout_d06*$\" . gs://ldeo-glaciology/AMPS/WRF_24/ > & log.txt &

4. Check the bucket for new files

   gsutil ls gs://ldeo-glaciology/AMPS
