FEATURE STORY
Overview Paper Accepted
A paper to document and evaluate the performance of E3SM version 1 was accepted for publication in JAMES. >>Campaigns Continue
The v1 campaign is in its 2nd year, with the water cycle campaign almost finished, BGC continuing, and cryosphere simulations starting. >>Nonhydrostatic Core
The project focuses on developing a Simple Cloud-Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model to run at 3 km resolution globally. >>Farewell from Dorothy
Sadly, Dorothy accepted a job offer from NOAA. We wish her well in her new endeavor! >>
BRIEF
One Year After Model
It was just a little more than 12 months ago that four years of hard work culminated with release of >>E3SM Data is Available
The data from CMIP6 DECK experiments has been published and is available via the ESGF website. >>E3SM Dedicated Computer
"Compy" - the new E3SM computer located at PNNL - is up and running. >>Latest All-Hands
