This article is a draft

This is not a complete article: This is a draft, a work in progress that is intended to be published into an article, which may or may not be ready for inclusion in the main wiki. It should not necessarily be considered factual or authoritative.




"The Community Earth System Model is a fully coupled global climate model developed in collaboration with colleagues in the research community. CESM provides state of the art computer simulations of Earth's past, present, and future climate states."

Porting and Validating[edit]

The below configuration files and commands are designed for a local installation of CESM 2.1.5:

Before making the adaptations as described below, please download CESM 2.1.5 from the CESM developers in your local directory.

    Checkout externals[edit]

    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[edit]

    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
