Compsets

When defining non-default compsets, it is advisable to start with a default compset and adapt it.

The CESM Component Set Definitions page lists all of the defined compsets.

In this case, there are two pairs of compsets whose confugration can be studied as a starting point: the COREv2 forcing of Large and Yeager (2009), which corresponds to the GIAF and GIAF_HR compsets in CESM, and the JRA-55 forcing of Kobayashi et al. (2015), which corresponds to the GIAF_JRA and GIAF_JRA_HR compsets.

  • In all compsets, the land ice component is stub glacier.

  • In eddy-parameterizing compsets, the wave component is Wave Watch 3.

  • In eddy-resolving compsets, the wave component is stub wave.
