Abstract

sympl (System for Modelling Planets) andclimt (Climate Modelling and Diagnostics Toolkit) are anattempt to rethink climate modelling frameworks from the ground up. The aimis to use expressive data structures available in the scientific Pythonecosystem along with best practices in software design to allow scientists toeasily and reliably combine model components to represent the climate systemat a desired level of complexity and to enable users to fully understandwhat the model is doing. sympl is a framework which formulates the model in terms of astate that gets evolved forward in time or modified within a specifictime by well-defined components. sympl's design facilitates buildingmodels that are self-documenting, are highly interoperable, and providefine-grained control over model components and behaviour. symplcomponents contain all relevant information about the input they expect andoutput that they provide. Components are designed to be easily interchanged,even when they rely on different units or array configurations.sympl provides basic functions and objects which could be used inany type of Earth system model. climt is an Earth system modelling toolkit that contains scientificcomponents built using sympl base objects. These include both purePython components and wrapped Fortran libraries. climt providesfunctionality requiring model-specific assumptions, such as stateinitialization and grid configuration. climt's programming interfacedesigned to bemore »« less

Hierarchies of Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equations for nanomagnets: A functional integral framework

Journal Article Tranchida, Julien ; Thibaudeau, Pascal ; Nicolis, Stam - Physical Review E

We propose a functional integral framework for the derivation of hierarchies of Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equations that describe the flow toward equilibrium of the first and second moments of the magnetization. The short-scale description is defined by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, under both Markovian or non-Markovian noise, and takes into account interaction terms that are of practical relevance. Depending on the interactions, different hierarchies on the moments are obtained in the corresponding LLB equations. Two closure Ansätze are discussed and tested by numerical methods that are adapted to the symmetries of the problem. Our formalism provides a rigorous bridge between themore »« less

PyDII: A python framework for computing equilibrium intrinsic point defect concentrations and extrinsic solute site preferences in intermetallic compounds

Journal Article Ding, Hong ; Medasani, Bharat ; Chen, Wei ; ... - Computer Physics Communications

Point defects play an important role in determining the structural stability and mechanical behavior of intermetallic compounds. To help quantitatively understand the point defect properties in these compounds, we developed PyDII, a Python program that performs thermodynamic calculations of equilibrium intrinsic point defect concentrations and extrinsic solute site preferences in intermetallics. The algorithm implemented in PyDII is built upon a dilute-solution thermodynamic formalism with a set of defect excitation energies calculated from first-principles density-functional theory methods. The analysis module in PyDII enables automated calculations of equilibrium intrinsic antisite and vacancy concentrations as a function of composition and temperature (over rangesmore »« less

Decoding how a soil bacterium extracts building blocks and metabolic energy from ligninolysis provides road map for lignin valorization (Towards Lignin valorization: How a soil bacterium extracts building blocks and metabolic energy from "Lignolysis")

Journal Article Varman, Arul M. ; He, Lian ; Follenfant, Rhiannon ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Lignin is a major resources for the production of next generation renewable aromatics. Sphingobium sp. SYK-6 is a bacterium that has been well-studied for the breakdown of lignin-derived compounds. There has been a lot of interest in SYK-6 lignolytic activity and many recent works have focused on understanding the unique catabolic pathway it possesses for the degradation of lignin derived monomers and oligomers. Furthermore, there has been no prior effort in understanding the central fluxome based on lignin derived substrates into value-added chemicals.

A data model of the Climate and Forecast metadata conventions (CF-1.6) with a software implementation (cf-python v2.1)

Journal Article Hassell, David ; Gregory, Jonathan ; Blower, Jon ; ... - Geoscientific Model Development (Online)

The CF (Climate and Forecast) metadata conventions are designed to promote the creation, processing, and sharing of climate and forecasting data using Network Common Data Form (netCDF) files and libraries. The CF conventions provide a description of the physical meaning of data and of their spatial and temporal properties, but they depend on the netCDF file encoding which can currently only be fully understood and interpreted by someone familiar with the rules and relationships specified in the conventions documentation. To aid in development of CF-compliant software and to capture with a minimal set of elements all of the information containedmore »« less

pyhector: A Python interface for the simple climate model Hector

Journal Article Willner, Sven N. ; Hartin, Corinne ; Gieseke, Robert - Journal of Open Source Software

Here, pyhector is a Python interface for the simple climate model Hector (Hartin et al. 2015) developed in C++. Simple climate models like Hector can, for instance, be used in the analysis of scenarios within integrated assessment models like GCAM1, in the emulation of complex climate models, and in uncertainty analyses. Hector is an open-source, object oriented, simple global climate carbon cycle model. Its carbon cycle consists of a one pool atmosphere, three terrestrial pools which can be broken down into finer biomes or regions, and four carbon pools in the ocean component. The terrestrial carbon cycle includes primary productionmore »« less
