Case Submit#

After a new case is built, the tool that submits the experiment to start it running is case.submit. This tool is located in the $CASEROOT directory.

CESM case.submit

Figure: Detailed view of the location of case.submit

Running this script results in the following actions:

  • Checking archive and run options

  • Checking in namelists that need to be rebuilt

  • Checking input data

  • Submitting the case.run script to the NCAR HPC batch job scheduler

  • Submitting the case.st_archive script to archive the model output. This step is dependent on the successful completion of case.run

Command Syntax#

You should still be in the CASEROOT directory after running case.build

cd /glade/work/$USER/cases/CASE

Example case.submit command: 

./case.submit

NOTE: Do not enter the example above at the command line. You will create your first case in the Exercise at the end of this section.

Notes:

  • case.submit coordinates all the tasks of running CESM.

  • case.run is submitted to the batch job scheduler by case.submit. Do not try to submit case.run separately.

  • CESM runs in the Build/Run Directory.

  • case.st_archive moves the history files to the archive directory runs only after case.run completes successfully. If a model run was unsuccessful the output remains in the Run Directory.
