CONUS ref(100W,40N) | 28 km (ne128), 14 km (ne256), 7km (ne512), 3.5 km (ne1024) | 111km (ne32), 28 km (ne128) | Refinement region with complete coverage of CONUS using several coarse and fine resolutions |  | TBD | ||
2012 North American Derecho derecho_ne512.g (not on E3SM inputdata server) | 7 km (ne512), 3.5 km (ne1024), 1.75 km (ne2048) | 100 km (ne32) | Include the region important for the 2012 North American Derecho |  | Max Dinv elem distortion: 2.89, 2.89, 2.97 area based dx: | Liu et al. (2023; under review) | |
California | 3.25 km (ne1024) | 100 km (ne32) | High resolution over CA to capture topographic effects of precipitation, but small enough HR domain so that climate length simulations can be performed. Note that other experimental variants of this grid exist (contact Peter Bogenschutz for details). |  | Max Dinv-based element distortion: 3.02 | Zhang et al. (2023; in prep); Bogenschutz et al.
