CESM Experiment Case Name Convention

May 20, 2011

CSEG requests your cooperation in helping standardize CESM experiment case names. CSEG asks that you use the following standardized convention for your experiment case names as we move forwards. These standardized case names should be used for any experiments that

In the future, the create_newcase script will have the ability to auto-generate case names conforming to this convention, but currently we ask that you create conforming case names manually when using the create_newcase script.

Thanks for your cooperation,
-CSEG

1. CESM1 Experiment Casenames

The convention is: <compset char>.<code base>.<compset shortname>.<res shortname>[.opt_desc_string].<nnn>[opt_char]

Examples:

      b.e10.BRCP26CN.f09_g16.001
      b.e10.BG1850CN.f19_g16.001
      b.e10.B1850CN.f19_g16.lig128ka.001

2. CESM1 Experiment Archival Location

CSEG also requests your cooperation in reserving the use of the archive location
    hpss:/CCSM/csm
for experiments that are likely to be of interest to the broader CESM community, and using other, working-group specific hpss directories...
    hpss:/CCSM/bgc
    hpss:/CCSM/paleo
    hpss:/CCSM/waccm
    hpss:/CCSM/<working group>
for experiments that are likely to be of interest to only one specific working group, and using a users home directory...
    hpss:/home/<user>
for experiments that are likely to be of interest to only one person.
