Newbies guide to running NorESM

The purpose of this page is to be able to set up and run the model within 15 minutes. For more advanced configuration, please consult http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/ccsm4.0/ccsm_doc/ug.pdf

This guide assumes that you have properly checked out the model to some directory which will call $NORESM. This directory will contain subdirectories “models” and “scripts”.

Create a valid case

Go to scripts directory

cd $NORESM/scripts

Create the case

./create_newcase - case ../cases/casename/ -mach machinename -res f19_f19 -compset compsetname

(where casename, machinename and compsetname are user input)

Configure the case

cd $NORESM/cases/casename

./configure -case

After these two commands, the case is configured
