Monte Carlo Experiments Project means a lot of simulations with almost the same initialization. The goal of these simulation is checking the effect of certain EPC parameters to certain output parameters. MCE projects can be used in SA and GLUE projects
Before creating a new MCE Project it is highly recommended to run Carbon project with the same settings to check if there is not any error while running.
MCE Project preparation is very similar to Carbon project. Before creating an MCE you must be familiar creating and running Carbon projects.
Please read the tutorial about Carbon project. Adding an MCE project is almost the same process.
| Common fields | Fields only in MCE |
|---|---|
| Name of the project share with others temporal data Project description Biome-BGC spinup INI dataset Biome-BGC normal INI dataset Output type Other input files |
Biome-BGC MCE INI Number of required repetition of MCE Confirm number of repetition |
Common fields in Carbon and MCE projects and fields only used in MCE.
Bold fields must be previously uploaded during project preparation.
Both in Carbon and MCE projects you need to have contents already uploaded/created in the database: spinup and normal ini sets, output set and other files (optionally). Input data, ini and output sets created for Carbon project can be used also in MCE projects. MCE project also needs MCE ini, it must be created before project creation. The repetition number and its confirmation can be add during project creation.
As in Carbon project before create a new ini content (during preparation) check if it is not already in the database. Use available lists in menu.
