CESM Workflow

CESM Workflow#

CESM has been designed to be easy to use. Once you have downloaded the CESM code, a CESM case can be run with a set of 4 commands.

Note: In CESM jargon, a case refers to a specific instance of a model simulation.

  1. Create a new case using create_newcase

  2. Set up the case by invoking case.setup

  3. Build the executable using case.build

  4. Run your case using case.submit

The following sections will go into more detail about these 4 commands and also provide information about how to check your job status or create a clone of a previous case.

While there is not published documentation for CESM3 workflow yet, it is very similar to the CESM2 workflow. And more detailed information on the CESM2 Workflow is documented in the following links. Check these out later to learn more.
