This document is tutorial for performing experiments easily with DCPAM5.
As an aside, "GOKURAKU" means "easiest".
Build DCPAM5 referring to DCPAM5 Installation Guide. Work until "Compile source code" in "How to build".
After building, executable files dcpam_main, init_data, sst_data are created under "src/main" directory. Some NAMELIST files (with suffix ".conf") are prepared in in "exp_setup_files" directory.
$ ls exp_setup_files
dcpam_ape_T21L16.conf
dcpam_ape_T42L16.conf
dcpam_hs94_T21L20.conf
dcpam_hs94_T42L20.conf
init_data_T21L16.conf
init_data_T42L16.conf
sst_data_T21.conf
sst_data_T42.conf

Notes about some compilers that are done the operation check or have done are as follows.
Read it through if the following operation check doesn't go well, because it is likely to apply about other compilers.
List described below is descriptions on procedures for performing DCPAM5 test experiments. For beginners, performing one experiment (for example, Baroclinic wave experiment by Polvani et al. (2004)) is recommended following procedures described in each page.
All experiments using DCPAM5 are performed with the following four steps:
Note that the preparation of directory for an experiment is not necessary required. Here, a directory is created to isolate configuration files and result files in an experiment from those from another one.
In the followings, methods for performing several experiments are described.
A method to perform a baroclinic wave experiment by Polvani et al. (2004) is described here.
A method to perform dynamical core experiment proposed by Held and Suarez (1994) is described here.
A method to perform an aqua planet experiment (planetary surface is covered by watar) is described here.
A method to perform an aqua planet experiment (planetary surface is covered by watar) proposed by Neale and Hoskins (2000) is described here.
A method to perform an aqua planet experiment (planetary surface is covered by watar) proposed by Neale and Hoskins (2000) with an axisymmetric version of model is described here.
A method to perform an experiment for the Earth is described here.
A method to perform a Mars experiment is described here.
A method to perform an experiment for Venus-like planet by using forcing by Yamamoto and Takahashi (2003) is described here.
