[rongbing0353]

Hello, guys, I have a question about CMAQ(which is developed by EPA, USA,)and CESM. Were there any chance that CMAQ can be coupled with CESM? The CMAQ model covers the golbe to local scale, so I wanna konw if the two models can be coupled and how to achive the goal, thank you

CESM is coupled using the highly configurable ESMF/NUOPC system. If the CMAQ already has an ESMF/NUOPC cap then coupling to cesm
should be a fairly straightforward exercise. If not, it will be more involved. A google search indicates that there may in fact already be such a cap
