SIPNET

SIPNET (Simplified Photosynthesis and Evapotranspiration Model) is an ecosystem model designed to efficiently simulate carbon and water dynamics. Originally developed for assimilation of eddy covariance flux data in forest ecosystems, current development is focused on representing carbon balance and GHG fluxes and agricultural management practices.

Getting Started

Requirements

• gcc or clang
• make

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PecanProject/sipnet.git
   cd sipnet
   

2. Build the SIPNET executable:

    make
   

3. Change directory and run a test simulation:

   cd tests/smoke/niwot
   ../../../sipnet -i sipnet.in
   

4. Check the output:

   cat niwot.out
   

Run Tests

• Unit tests:

  make unit
  # or: make testbuild && ./tools/run_unit_tests.sh
  

• Smoke tests:

  make smoke
  # or: ./tests/smoke/run_smoke.sh
  

• Full tests (build + unit + smoke):

  make test
  

• Clean up test artifacts: bash make testclean
