CLM 5.0 How to run Single Point Regional cases - erika72/clm-docs GitHub Wiki

The CLM also allows you to set up and run cases with a single-point or a local region as well as global resolutions. This is often useful for running quick cases for testing, evaluating specific vegetation types, or land-units, or running with observed data for a specific site. There are three different ways to do this: normal-supported site, PTS_MODE, CLM_USRDAT_NAME, and with PTCLM.

• normal supported site -- to run for a supported single point or regional dataset.
• PTS_MODE -- to run for a single point using global datasets.
• CLM_USRDAT_NAME -- to run using your own datasets (single-point or regional).
• PTCLM -- to easily setup simulations to run for tower sites..

Note: PTS_MODE and PTCLM only works for a single point, while the other two options can also work for regional datasets as well.
