CIME

The Common Infrastructure for Modeling the Earth (CIME – pronounced “SEAM”) provides a Case Control System for configuring, compiling and executing Earth system models, data and stub model components, a driver and associated tools and libraries.

E3SM makes extensive use of CIME and co-develops the software.  E3SM uses the Case Control System, the MCT-based driver and the data and stub models.

CIME is included in the E3SM source code.
