Modifying CESM Source Code with CESMlab

[howard@earth_northwestern_edu]

Hi all,

First, I wanted to express how useful the CESMlab has been to my students and I. Thank you so much for developing and supporting it!

I have one very novice question: is there a way to access or modify the source code?

I appreciate the help and thanks in advance!

Best,
Howard

Hi Howard, I also find CESM docker very useful. I do not know which specific docker you are using, but if you use escape/ctsm-neon(Docker), you can modify the scripts in "cd ~/CTSM/time/scripts." The script folder is in the home directory, and you can either modify the scripts directly in ~/CTSM/time/scripts or make copies of the ~/CTSM folder and then modify the codes in the copied folder. My only issue with the container is that I can not run the general site point simulation(subset_data can not find inputdata). If you can do the general site simulation, please let me know.

Thanks for the suggestion! I am using cesm-lab-2.2. I am not trying to get to scripts but rather the model routines themselves. For instance, do you know if there is a way I could access components/cam/src/chemistry/mozart and the files within that directory?
