Output Data

If you would like to download output data from the 2023 Severe Outbreak case, you can get that tar file here.

Alternatively, before your HPC account access expires, you can copy the files from Derecho to your local machine. To do this,

1. Navigate to the directory on Derecho where your files reside.


2. Issue the command pwd. This will tell you the entire path where your files reside. Copy that path.


3. Now open another terminal window (or tab) – DO NOT LOG IN TO DERECHO – and just go to a directory on your local system where you would like to put the files.


4. On your local system, issue a version of the following command (modify it for your specific files/paths).

   scp user-name@derecho.hpc.ucar.edu:/path-to-your-files/files* .

   
   The files should start copying over.

If you have numerous files to copy, you may want to first package the files up and then just copy that single packaged file. To package several files together, go to the directory where the files reside and then issue something like the following:

tar -cf file-name-you-choose.tar files*

Make sure to include the star (*) so that it grabs all the files with that prefix.

You can then go to your local machine and start with step 4 above, but just copy the single *.tar file, instead of multiple files.
