CTSM 5.3 historical simulations (40 minutes):

This discussion will lean heavily on results from the latest historical run that includes diagnostics and ILAMB results.

On this LMWG-dev discussion thread we can go over:

  • Known issues
  • Additional considerations
  • Plan for PPE work and LWMG coordination PPE team is now standing up two public github repositories under the NCAR organization to house PPE related code:
    • ctsm6_ppe will be used for ensemble generating code, similar to the existing CLM5PPE repo
    • ctsm_ppe_analysis will be used for tools to analyze PPE output, similar to the existing ppe_tools PPE team will work on migrating and consolidating code to these new repos over the next few months.

CTSM5.3

Aug 22

Updates and Announcements (10 minutes)

  • Welcome:

  • Wins:

    • Linnia provided suggested parameter files updates to reduce biases with CRUJRA

  • Announcements:

    • Last push before code freeze with initial conditions for CTSM5.3 tag to be made soon, see LMWG-dev.
      • Integrates minor updates to surface datasets with new fire code + parameterizations informed by CLM5 PPE.
      • Will not be compatible with CLM5.2 tags.
    • Developing an "online textbook" for running different flavors of single point cases. Talk to Will & Danica if you want to learn more, contribute or test this out.

CSL proposal

  • LMWG allocation: 23 M core hours / year, 46 M hours total

  • CMIP7 DECK experiments covered by CESM.

  • Additional MIPS need to be covered by WGs

  • Current costs for CESM3 are estimated here. Briefly costs range wildly between:

    • Coupled model (Mid-top with ne30 grid and ocean BGC) 14000 PE-hrs/yr (12 y/day)
    • Land only spinup (1 degree, f09 grid BGC-Crop) 280 PE-hr/yr (160 yr/day).
    • Land only historical (1 degree, f09 grid BGC-Crop) 640 PE-hr/yr (72 yr/day). Hopefully this gets better...

  • For round numbers, the means that for a 300 year simulation (without spinup) we're looking at:

    • 4.2M PE hours for a fully coupled model and
    • 200K PE hours for a land only simulation

Let's fill out this sheet with experiments we think we'd like to request

  • Announcements:

    • Aleya is hiring a postdoc with the NOAA Global Monitoring Lab, posting here
    • CMEPS has capability to run land and atmosphere on different grids
      • NorESM will likely use this capability
      • Suggesting CESM will not, which means we need to support post processing tools for CESM3 in CUPiD
      • Erik Note: although this capability exists we have NOT used nor tested it in CESM in quite some time there aren't grids for it now
