CCSM Research Tools: CAM 3.0 Simulations
Control simulations have been conducted using climatological SSTs and monthly observed SSTs for the Eulerian dynmaical core at T31, T42, and T85 resolutions, and for the Finite Volume dynamical core at a resolution of 2x2.5. Click on the links below 'Model Forcing' to see the build scripts that contain the configure and build-namelist commands used to set up the simulations.
Many of the simulations below have names indicating that they were perfomed using development versions of the model. All of the configurations used produce the same climate as the released model.
