CESM
Description
DESCRIPTION
Community Earth System Model (CESM) and Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM):
The CESM is a fully coupled, global climate model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth's past, present, and future climate states while E3SM is the Department of energy's climate mode. DOE describes E3SM as "an ongoing, state-of-the-science Earth system modeling, simulation, and prediction project that optimizes the use of DOE laboratory resources to meet the science needs of the nation and the mission needs of DOE."
CIME - Common Infrastructure for Modeling the Earth (pronounced “SEAM”) provides a Case Control System for configuring, compiling and executing Earth system models, data and stub model components, a driver, and associated tools and libraries. See http://esmci.github.io/cime/versions/master/html/index.html in-depth discussion.
CLM - Community Land Model. The land component used in CESM. It has the capability to model specific processes such as vegetation composition, heat transfer in soil, carbon-nitrogen cycling, canopy hydrology, and many more. See https://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/clm for in-depth discussion.
There are no environment module for CIME, instead, Users decide the model and UF research computing provides the necessary expertise to carry out the tasks necessary to use CESM software. The HPG users who need assistance in using CESM are asked to open a support ticket. Also, the Geber group ( sgerber@ufl.edu) maintains detailed documentation on using CESM at HiPerGator (https://github.com/cdevaneprugh/hpg-esm-docs?tab=readme-ov-file)
