Stages of Creating a Case

The workflow for creating a CESM case using visualCaseGen is divided into three main stages:

  1. Compset: In this stage, the user will select the compset, i.e., the set of models, physics, and options that will be used in the simulation.

  2. Resolution: In this stage, the user will select the resolution of the simulation, i.e., the collection of model grids.

  3. Launch: In this final stage, the user will create and configure the case.
