The Common Infrastructure for Modeling the Earth (CIME - pronounced “SEAM”) provides two core features; a Case Control System (CCS) for configuring, compiling and executing Earth System Models, and a framework for system testing an Earth System Model.
CIME does not contain the source code for any Earth System Model drivers or components. It is typically included alongside the source code of a host model. However, CIME does include pointers to external repositories that contain drivers, data models and other test components. These external components can be easily assembled to facilitate end-to-end system tests of the CIME infrastructure, which are defined in the CIME repository.
CIME is currently used by:
