Weak Temperature Gradient Mode

Hi,

I'd like to implement a WTG mode into the SCAM. I know in previous versions of the CAM there was a kind of "master" code, i think it was called stepon.f90, that was used to control how each part of the model was called. I can't seem to find this file or anything similar.

Has anyone here done this? Or does anyone know where i would find the main file which controls how the model is run?

Thanks

CSEG and Liaisons
A couple of changes are significant with respect to SCAM. One is that SCAM is now a special configuration of CAM (you get this by specifying the -scam option to CAM's configure). There is no longer a separate SCAM driver. The other significant change is that there is no longer a separate CAM standalone driver. CAM standalone uses the same driver as the fully coupled CESM. The driver is in models/drv/driver/ccsm_driver.F90.

The stepon.F90 code still exists; there is a version of this file in each dycore. It functions as the interface for the dynamical core. SCAM only works with the Eulerian dycore. You'll find modifications for SCAM in models/atm/cam/src/dynamics/eul/stepon.F90.
