This page collects well-tested RRM configurations produced for E3SM which others might want to use.
Instructions for Adding Grids:
Instructions for creating new grids are at Running E3SM on New Grids
The steps below are for making grids available to other users. Stop now if you’ve never tried out your new RRM grid or it has problems. Definitely continue if your RRM grid was used in a publication.
To share your grid:
Add a row for your new grid in the appropriate table below
Add the grid files to inputdata/share/meshes following the directions at /wiki/spaces/ED/pages/707002387. Files to add: <make list>
Create a pull request making your grid available

Conventional High-Resolution Grids
Grid Name | Target Fine Resolution | Target Coarse Resolution | Goals in mesh creation | Link to mesh graphic | Validation | Contact Person |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
v2 North American RRM | 25 km (ne120) | 100 km (ne30) | e.g. “western boundary far enough offshore to let storms develop, eastern boundary beyond Sierra mountains” | Described in Tang et al., (JAMES 2023) | ||
Storm-Resolving Grids
Grid Name | Target Fine Resolution | Target Coarse Resolution | Goals in mesh creation | Link to mesh graphic | Validation | Contact Person |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CONUS | 3.25 km | e.g. “western boundary far enough offshore to let storms develop, eastern boundary beyond Sierra mountains” | TBD | |||
2012 North American Derecho | 3.25 km | |||||
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). | Zhang et al. (2023; in prep); Bogenschutz et al. (2023; in prep) | Jishi Zhang (zhang73@llnl.gov) | |
