CLM 6.0 How to run PTCLM1.110726 - erika72/clm-docs GitHub Wiki
PTCLM (pronounced either as point clime or Pee-Tee clime) is a Python script to help you set up PoinT CLM simulations. It runs the CLM tools for you to get datasets set up, and copies them to a location you can use them according to the CLM_USRDAT_NAME naming convention. Then it runs create_newcase for you and modifies the env settings and namelist appropriately. PTCLM has a simple ASCII text file for storing basic information for your sites. We also have complete lists for AmeriFlux and Fluxnet-Canada sites, although we only have the meteorology data for one site. For other sites you will need to obtain the meteorology data and translate it to a format that the CESM datm model can use. But, even without meteorology data PTCLM is useful to setup datasets to run with standard CLM_QIAN data.
The original authors of PTCLM are: Daniel M. Ricciuto, Dali Wang, Peter E. Thornton, Wilfred M. Post all at Environmental Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and R. Quinn Thomas at Cornell University. It was then modified fairly extensively by Erik Kluzek at NCAR. We want to thank all of these individuals for this contribution to the CESM effort. We also want to thank the folks at University of Michigan Biological Stations (US-UMB) who allowed us to use their Fluxnet station data and import it into our inputdata repository, especially Gil Bohrer the PI on record for this site.
