This github-based fork of MONC is rapidly changing, with automated testing, docs, etc being set up

MONC is a highly scalable Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model that has been developed to simulate clouds and turbulent flows at high resolution (~ 10s of metres) on large domains. The MONC project was initially funded through a Joint Weather and Climate Research Program (JWCRP) enabling post via NERC research grant NE/L01338X/1, which facilitated a collaboration between Met Office scientists and computational scientists at EPCC to undertake the development of MONC.

The main aim of the MONC project was to develop a high resolution atmospheric process research model for the community that is user friendly and scalable on modern high performance computing (HPC) systems. The scientific basis for MONC is the Met Office Large Eddy Model (LEM) and the development involved the complete re-write of the Met Office LEM using modern software design with a flexible plug 'n play component based architecture with a focus on high performance computing (HPC) scaling and efficiency.

Keeping in sync with the Met Office Science Repository (MOSRS)

MOSRS uses SVN which can be used from git using git svn. The way this is done is to set up a svn-remote (pointing to a specific SVN path, for example trunk) and then fetching this content. Each commit on the MOSRS SVN will then have an corresponding git commit. Adding and accessing trunk from MOSRS can be done with the following commands:

export LOCAL_NAME="mosrs-trunk"
git config --add svn-remote.${LOCAL_NAME}.url https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/monc/main/trunk
git config --add svn-remote.${LOCAL_NAME}.fetch :refs/remotes/mosrs/trunk
git svn fetch ${LOCAL_NAME}
git checkout remotes/mosrs/trunk -b ${LOCAL_NAME}
unset LOCAL_NAME

You will need a user account for MOSRS to be able to run this command. Once done the entire history of trunk on MOSRS will then be available on the git branch called mosrs-trunk, which can then be merged into the current branch.
