Welcome to CCSM

CCSM Software Engineering Working Group

The Software Engineering Working Group (SEWG) was formed to examine software engineering issues related to creating and executing CCSM model codes, and to recommend and help coordinate software engineering practices that will help the CCSM project to achieve its goals.

CCSM Project

The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) is a fully-coupled, global climate model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth's past, present, and future climate states.

CCSM is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Administration of the CCSM is maintained by the Climate and Global Dynamics Division (CGD) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
