Community Earth System Model
The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is a fully-coupled numerical simulation of the Earth system consisting of atmospheric, ocean, ice, land surface, carbon cycle, and other components. CESM is climate model providing state-of-art simulations of the Earth's past, present, and future.[1] It is the successor of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM), specifically version 4 (CCSMv4), which provided the initial atmospheric component for CESM. Strong ensemble forecasting capabilities, CESM-LE, were developed at the onset to control for error and biases across different model runs (realizations).[2] Simulations from the Earth's surface to the thermosphere were generated utilizing the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). CESM1 was released in 2010 with primary development by Climate and Global Dynamics Division (CGD) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and significant funding by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DoE).[3]
