Uber Quick Guide

Assuming you have computing resources on gadi@NCI, installing and running CABLE is as simple as:

1. Clone the source code:

   git clone https://github.com/CABLE-LSM/CABLE.git
   cd CABLE
   

2. Build a serial version of CABLE

   ./build.bash
   

3. Execute this serial version of CABLE

   cd src/offline
   ../../bin/cable
   

In slightly more detail

The CABLE executable (./cable) is configured via the namelist cable.nml. By default the provided cable.nml points to 4-year meteorological forcing from the Tumbarumba fluxnet site. NB: spinning up the model has been switched off in cable.nml (spinup=.FALSE.)

We say the "serial" version as CABLE does support a parallel configuration as well.

ACCESS-ESM1.5 uses a version of CABLE based on CABLE-2.3.4.

ACCESS-CM2 uses a version of CABLE that is closer to the HEAD of the trunk at the time of writing (December 2019).
