===In order to compile and run the UWCOMMAS model, you must have crm_clean.tar in your home directory.  Once you have this file, follow the steps below to untar, compile, and run the UWCOMMAS model.===

 == 1) To untar and unzip the UWCOMMAS file, use the basic commands: " tar xzf crm_clean.tar.gz "==
==  2) open "Makefile" with any text editor, preferably in Unix to avoid hidden characters. ==
       *  Make sure that your "LOCAL" directory is the directory in which you have unzipped crm_clean
==  3) Change TYPE, TRACER, and ADVECTION_METHOD, if needed. After this, save the file and close it. ==
==  4) Type "make clean" to remove unnecessary files, then type "make all" to compile the program. ==
       * This should create an executable file called "Drive" in the main directory and another called "init" in the Init (Initialization) directory. 
===  INITIALIZATION ===
       * 3d.params should be modified before continuing to step 6. For further information, see the 3d.params link 
==  6) Run "init" ==
       * The command is './init'
==  7) Move the output file to rename it "fort.12" ==
       * The command is 'mv <output> fort.12'
==  8) Next we need to tell UWCOMMAS how we want the model to run (i.e. start time, time steps, etc.) ==
       * Skim through adapt_input and adjust the necessary parameters (Again, see adapt_input above for namelist information)

=== WE ARE READY TO RUN! ===

==  A) Type in the following command: ./drive > drive.log 2>&1 & ==
       * What this will do is place output log and errors into drive.log. The "&" at the end will run it in the background. If you would like the file to write somewhere else, just rename "drive.log" to whatever you want.
       * If you want to see progress, you can type "tail drive.log" and that will display the last 6 lines of the model run
       * If you want to see progress continuously, you can type "tail -f drive.log" and that will continuously display the model run steps until either the model is done or the user aborts the command (ctrl C).
==  B) Your file output will be default to .cdf file allowing you to use them in MATLAB/IDL or other .cdf programs.==
