CESM Workflow#

CESM has been designed to be easy to use. Once you have completed the one-time set up steps, a CESM case can be run with a set of 4 commands.

  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.
