Run FUSE for the catchment test case

The steps below will enable you to test if FUSE is running as expected. The instructions were purposefully kept short, but their elements are described in more detail in the rest of the documentation.

  1. If you haven't yet, download the data for the catchment test case to a directory $(data_catch).
  2. Update the lines 3 to 5 of fm_catch.txt (this is the file manager) using the path of $(data_catch).
  3. Run FUSE using default parameter values (note run_def below):
./fuse.exe path_to_data_catch/fm_catch.txt us_09066300 run_def

If FUSE runs and terminates with Done, it is good sign. Explore the files just created in the output folder and maybe compare them with those in output_ref, which we created.

Run FUSE for the grid test case

  1. If you haven't yet, download the data for the grid test case to a directory $(data_grid).
  2. Update the lines 3 to 5 of fm_grid.txt using the path of $(data_grid).
  3. Run FUSE using default parameter values over the grid:
./fuse.exe path_to_data_grid/fm_grid.txt cesm1-cam5 run_def

If FUSE runs and terminates with Done, it is good sign. Explore the files just created in the output folder and maybe compare them with those in output_ref, which we created.
