Data archive for paper "Energy and environmental impacts of air-to-air heat pumps in a mid-latitude city"

Overview

This is the data archive for paper "Energy and environmental impacts of air-to-air heat pumps in a mid-latitude city". It contains the paper's data archive with model outputs (see notebooks folder) and the Singularity image for (optionally) re-running experiments.

For the standalone models to model air conditioners and heat pumps please refer to MinimalDX.

Prerequisites

• Linux with Bash shell.
• Git version >= 2.
• Singularity version >= 3.
• Portable Batch System*.
• Intel Fortran Compiler [Required for MesoNH simulations].
• A compatible version of the MPI library implementation version 3 [Required for MesoNH simulations].

Please note that most steps require Singularity. If you are looking for information on how to install or use Singularity, please refer to the Singularity documentation. Please note that depending on your specific system settings and resource availability, you may need to modify PBS parameters at the top of submit scripts stored in the hpc directory.

Simulations

Offline

1. Build Surfex with qsub hpc/surfex_build.pbs.
2. Run scenarios with the following commands:

    qsub -v case_name=fincap hpc/surfex_run.pbs
    qsub -v case_name=fincap_extended_autosize hpc/surfex_run.pbs
    qsub -v case_name=minidx_cop=2.5 hpc/surfex_run.pbs
    qsub -v case_name=minidx_cop=3.0 hpc/surfex_run.pbs
    qsub -v case_name=minidx_cop=3.5 hpc/surfex_run.pbs
    qsub -v case_name=minidx_cop=4.0 hpc/surfex_run.pbs
    qsub -v case_name=minidx_cop=4.5 hpc/surfex_run.pbs
   

Online

To run MesoNH simulations, follow the three steps outlined below in the same order. Note: Depending on your system and configuration, submit scripts may require change.

1. Build MesoNH with qsub hpc/build_mnh_intel.pbs.
2. Run the preprocessing step with qsub hpc/submit_mnh_prep.pbs.
3. Finally run MesoNH cases with the following commands for fincap and minidx simulations respectively:

    hpc/submit_mnh.sh fincap 20050120 12 1 toulouse
    hpc/submit_mnh.sh minidx 20050120 12 1 toulouse
   

4. Post-process the results with qsub hpc/submit_mnh_post.pbs
