UCLALES-SALSA is a Large-Eddy model coupled with a detailed sectional microphysics module for aerosol, clouds and precipitation. The core model UCLALES is the work of Stevens et al. (2005 @ Mon. Wea. Rev.). SALSA and all modifications and components related to the coupled UCLALES-SALSA have been designed and developed by the Finnish Meteorological Institute. To install this model, simply type >> git clone https://github.com/UCLALES-SALSA/UCLALES-SALSA.git and run >> make seq or >> make mpi depending if you want a sequential build for single-processor runs or an MPI build for parallel multiprocessor runs. Note that you probably have to adjust the paths to MPI and NetCDF libraries in the makefile found in the model root folder. Makefile_ubuntu and Makefile_CRAY provide examples for a simple ubuntu workstation and a Cray supercomputing cluster. The code compiles correctly at least with GCC. Intel compilers should work, too. After compiling the model, the executable is found in the bin-folder together with the runscript "runles". This should be used for both parallel and sequential runs. You probably need to adjust the generation of the file job.sh at the end of the script according to the specifics of your local batch system. The bin folder contains all the necessary files to perform a testrun. Case specific runscripts and sound-in files used in publications will be available in another repository at https://github.com/UCLALES-SALSA/CONFIGURATION-FILES For simple cases, just replace the runscript and sound-in files in the bin-directory of the model with the case-specific ones. If anything more elaborate is necessary, this will be documented with the case-specific configuration files.
