1.5 Getting Help - Other User Resources

1.5.1 The CAM Web Page

The central source for information on CAM is the
CAM web page (http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/atm-cam). Here you can find model updates, bug reports, the latest documentation, and much, much more. Visit today!

1.5.2 The cam-users mailing list

The cam-users discussion group is an open e-mail forum for rapid exchange of information, ideas, and topics of interest relating to the various versions of the NCAR CAM. This includes sharing software tools, datasets, programming tips and examples, as well as discussions of questions, problems and workarounds. The primary motivation for the establishment of this list is to facilitate and encourage communication between the users of the CAM around the world. This mail group will also be used to distribute announcements related to the CAM.

To subscribe to this user group go to http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cam-users.

1.5.3 Reporting bugs

If a user should encounter bugs in the code (i.e., it doesn't behave in a way in which the documentation says it should), the problem should be reported electronically to The cam-users mailing list (1.5.2). When reporting a suspected bug, please include the following information: 1) the architecture on which the code was built; 2) the configuration cache xml file; 3) the namelist input; and 4) Model printout. Please note that that CAM 3.0 is a research model, and not all features are supported.
