Supported E3SM code versions

Simulations that are part of production simulation campaigns go through a very extensive evaluation and testing, and are deemed “Scientifically Validated”.

Only “Scientifically Validated” compsets / configurations are supported by E3SM project and are guaranteed to run on the E3SM-supported DOE LC centers, and are:

• maint-1.0, v1.0.0, doi: 10.11578/E3SM/dc.20180418.36, (Water Cycle Simulation Campaign)
• maint-1.1, v1.1.1, doi: 10.11578/E3SM/dc.20200825.12, (BGC Simulation Campaign)
