RegESM

Regional Earth System Model

Supported Components

• Atmosphere (ATM):
  • RegCM (4.4.5.10 and 4.5) - http://gforge.ictp.it/gf/project/regcm/
• Ocean (OCN):
  • ROMS (3.7) - http://www.myroms.org or for ice branch https://github.com/kshedstrom/roms
  • MITgcm (MITgcm_c63s) - http://mitgcm.org/download/
• River Routing (RTM):
  • HD (1.0.2) http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/science/the-land-in-the-earth-system/terrestrial-hydrology/hd-model.html http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/science/models/model-distribution.html
• Wave (WAV):
  • WAM (Cycle_4.5.3_MPI)

Prerequisites

• RegESM itself (as a driver)
  • The RegESM version 1.0.0-beta.5 is compatible with the RegCM version < 4.5
  • If you plan to use RegCM 4.5 (includes new non-hydrostatic core) then please use RegESM version 1.1.0
• Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF, == esmf-7.0.0) Library http://www.earthsystemmodeling.org/download/data/releases.shtml#v7_0_0
• Model Components (patched and installed with coupling support - see user guide under doc/ directory)
