CLM 8.0 Scripts for testing CLM - erika72/clm-docs GitHub Wiki
Technically, you could use the customization we gave in Chapter 1 to test various configuration and namelist options for CLM. Sometimes, it's also useful to have automated tests though to test that restarts give exactly the same results as without a restart. It's also useful to have automated tests to run over a wide variety of configurations, resolutions, and namelist options. To do that we have several different types of scripts set up to make running comprehensive testing of CLM easy. There are two types of testing scripts for CLM. The first are the CESM test scripts, which utilize the create_newcase scripts that we shown how to use in this User's Guide. The second are a set of stand-alone scripts that use the CLM configure and build-namelist scripts to build and test the model as well as testing the CLM tools as well. Below we will go into further details of how to use both methods.
