To facilitate provenance within E3SM experiments and model intercomparisons, the following standards should be followed in all files output by E3SM components.
History global attributes
History files from E3SM components should all have these global attributes. Examples are from EAM and should be adjusted as indicated
title = (what is in this file) "EAM History file information" ;
source = (common full name for model) "E3SM Atmosphere Model" ;
:source_id = (the git hash from coupler)
:product = "model-output" ;
:realm = see table in
:case = CIME case id ;
:username = (username from coupler) ;
:hostname = (hostname from coupler) ;
:git_version = (the git hash from coupler)
:history = (date-time stamp of file creation) "created on 05/02/21 23:58:09" ;
