Manually get input data

[swartn]

In the documentation it describes the ability to manually download input data, however, no links or further instructions are given. It is suggests check_input_data is used instead, however, this cannot work on some of our HPC machines that do not allow direct internet access. Is there any guidance available on how to download only a small required subset of the CESM input data manually? thanks

If your HPC system does not have direct access you can create the case on a system that does have a connection and run
./check_input_data --download to get the data. You can also check the files Buildconf/*.input_data_list for the complete list of
required files for a given case.
