A User's Guide to MESOUSER

1. What is MESOUSER?

Mesouser is a computer account we use to receive and answer users' emails regarding any questions on the use of the modeling system programs. It is an account on NCAR's computer and on NCAR anonymous ftp, where the modeling system program tar files, terrestrial input data and some job decks are archived for users to access. The directory structure looks like this on the NCAR IBM:

~mesouser/MM5V3
~mesouser/MM5V3/Util

and on anonymous ftp:

/mesouser/MM5V3
/mesouser/MM5V3/Util
/mesouser/MM5V3/TESTDATA : input dataset for SOC case
/mesouser/MM5V3/TERRAIN_DATA : input data for TERRAIN program

 

2. Accessing MESOUSER Account

To access the mesouser account on the NCAR's computers, you must have an account. You can browse through any of the files on the mesouser account by entering the command "ls -l ~mesouser", and copy those needed to your own directory for editing.

To access the NCAR's anonymous ftp account, you need to execute the following command:

The login name is anonymous and the password is your full e-mail address. After you obtain the ftp> prompt, cd to mesouser. You can browse through any of the files on the mesouser account by entering the command "ls -l", and ftp those needed to your own machine for editing.

The file README in the mesouser main directory contains detailed information of all the files residing in the ftp mesouser account.
