E3SM Phase 2 Collaboration Policy
In Phase 2 As of E3SM , our model code first data release in April 2018, E3SM model source became 'open development' and is now freely available to everyone. We announce and support the so called 'released' versions of the code, currently only v1.0. The support is very limited and only includes the machines we are supporting within E3SM project.This includes developmental code as well as versioned code release. Data from all major campaign simulations will also be made publicly available through ESGF archives. There can be few months delay between production of the data and its publication to ESG in order to give the E3SM scientists a chance to publish an overview paper on the data. The code support covers the code configuration that was used in E3SM major simulation campaigns for which the data was already released to the public. The code support guarantees that the code will run an all the E3SM supported machines in DOE LC centers.
Currently, (Nov 2018), the E3SM version v1.0 is supported with the standard (lower resolution) configuration that was used in the water cycle simulation campaign and CMIP6 DECK configuration.
The collaboration request is needed to grant permission to the external projects to access our Confluence site and the internal access E3SM internal Confluence site that contains extensive, internal, documentation or to gain access to a non-not yet released E3SM data, or to request deeper collaboration with E3SM.
The collaboration request should agree agreement should cover
- Explanation what access is being sought (Confluence and/or what specific non-released data access)
- What research will be done with the code and/or data
- the agreement to acknowledge E3SM for using it's data or code, it may ask for any additional support, or to access E3SM data that is not yet available to the public. The collaboration should include the agreement on possible joint publication from the research, and should specify expected timeline for all publications from this research and possibly agree to include some E3SM authors.
External projects like ecosystem projects, SFA's that use E3SM data or code, or other collaborators are expected to submit a collaboration request.
