CESM Case Maker

Go to Page List

CESM Case Maker presents a visual interface to creating new climate model simulations.

CESM stands for the Community Earth System Model used for running simulations of the earth’s climate.

The goal of CESM Case Maker is to present a visual interface to the creation & configuration of new CESM simulations.

It does this by

• Presenting a web interface for choosing new case options.
• Populating a template script from those options, and returns the filled out script.
• This script can be run in the main CESM directory to create a new CESM case.

Goals

• AJAX autocomplete via SQL Database
• OWL ontological reasoning to reduce options instead of hardcoding
• Tooltips explaining everything
• Separate pages with similar setups doing things like porting to local machine, creating custom component sets or grids, etc.
• Running simulations on the Cloud with these scripts passed to them, all automatically
• Not have to pay $$ to run the live server
