Checkout externals

Before your first use of CESM, you may checkout the individual model components by running the checkout_externals script.

[name@server ~]$ /path/to/CESM/manage_externals/checkout_externals

You may need to accept a certificate from the CESM repository to download input files.

Creating a test case

The following command assumes the default model cesm and the current machine:

[name@server ~]$ /path/to/CESM/cime/scripts/create_newcase --case test_case --compset IHistClm50Bgc --res f19_g17
