NGM Modules

Software environment maintained by BoM NGM team

On Gadi, NGM modules are available on /g/data/access, and can be enabled with

module use /g/data/access/ngm/modules

The NGM modules will load an appropriate version based on the currently loaded compiler and mpi modules

• jedi-fv3: JEDI DA tools for fv3-based models
• fcm: UM Build tool
• oasis3-mct Coupling library
• cylc Workflow Scheduler
• xios IO Server
• ants? Unified Model Ancillary Tools
• nemo-utils NEMO Utilities

Meta-Modules

Meta-modules load the full environment needed to build a model. Load the module version matching the version of the model you're trying to build, e.g. for UM 12.2

module use /g/data/access/ngm/modules
module purge
module load build-um/12.2
