Community Experiments#
Information about community experiments performed with CESM version 2 and previous verisons of the model (CSM1, CCSM2, CCSM3, CESM1) are documented on an experiments webpage.
Explore this webpage and then click on the CESM2 Experiments, Data, and Diagnostic Output link for experiments from the most recent model version.

This page provides a searchable list of all the CESM2 experiments available to the public. To interpret the casenames, it is helpful to remember CESM naming conventions that provide information about the experiment at a glance. Knowing the CESM case naming conventions will help you navigate CESM community experiments. Information about the CESM naming is available at:
