Dependencies

EXTPAR contains Fortran Code as well as hybrid Python-CDO scripts. Both code bases need external libraries and installations.

Libraries

Fortran

EXTPAR needs the following libraries for the Fortran-Code:

  • NetCDF
  • JASPER
  • PNG
  • Z LIB

Python-CDO

EXTPAR needs the following Python packages and installations:

  • at least Python 3.6
  • module netCDF4

The module netCDF is the Python interface to the netCDF C library. It allows the user create and manipulate netCDF files with Python. For more detailed information please visit netCDF Python .

Additionally, an installation of CDO (Climate Data Operators) is required. All necessary information about this tool can be found at CDO-MPI.

Be sure that these libraries are installed on your system or install them yourself by following the installation instructions provided with the libraries.

On the DKRZ machine Levante

All the required libraries are already installed on the DKRZ machine.
