ctsm5.4.X: CMIP7 Datasets release

Closed
Due by December 12, 2025
Closed Dec 12, 2025

Dataset updates associated with bringing in CMIP7 datasets. This covers surface datasets for certain. But, likely other forcing datasets as well and future scenarios.

Expecting to need a month after datasets are made available to make this minor version tag (this was way off by the way, see below).

  • Make ctsm5.4.000 with the updated datasets
  • Bring in the Carbon Isotope update
  • Anything else needed to complete the release tag (ciso)
  • Make the release tag with everything needed for the release itself

Timeline of what happened:

  • April -- datasets available
  • May -- work through issues
  • June -- changes needed to make new datasets
  • July -- work through problems, some other updates
  • Aug/Sep -- support for new grids, new features needed CLM_CMIP_ERA
  • Oct -- update raw PFT, make datasets, new finidat, fix more problems
  • Nov -- Update XML, fix more issues, fsurdat validation, final testing, What's new updates etc.
    (So something like 4 months might be the minimum time for surface dataset updates)
100% complete
