1. Download Wuestebach data files

git clone https://icg4geo.icg.kfa-juelich.de/ExternalReposPublic/tsmp2-static-files/extpar_eclm_wuestebach_sp.git
cd extpar_eclm_wuestebach_sp/static.resources
generate_wtb_namelists.sh 1x1_wuestebach
cd 1x1_wuestebach

2. Check the case setup

You can check out the important namelist files.

• The lnd_in file is the primary configuration file for the land model component in CLM. It includes settings related to various processes and configurations specific to land surface modeling. For a complete list of lnd_in-namelist options, see https://docs.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm2/settings/current/clm5_0_nml.html

• The drv_in file configures the coupler and driver settings that control how different components of the Earth system model interact. It manages the synchronization and communication between components such as the atmosphere, land, ocean, and sea ice models. For a complete list of drv_in-namelist options, see https://docs.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm2/settings/current/drv_nml.html

Print out the namelist files and look at the customized configurations.

cat lnd_in
cat drv_in

3. Run the test case

mpirun -np 1 eclm.exe

The model run is successful if the history files (wtb_1x1.clm2.h0.*.nc) have been generated.
