Overview
Norwegian Earth System Model
The Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) is one out of ~20 climate models that has produced output for the CMIP5 (http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5). The NorESM-family of models are based on the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, but differs from the latter by, in particular, an isopycnic coordinate ocean model and advanced chemistry-aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction schemes. The main version NorESM1-M has a horizontal resolution of approximately 2deg for the atmosphere and land components and 1deg for the ocean and ice components. NorESM is also available in a lower resolution version (NorESM1-L), a medium-low resolution version (NorESM1-ML), a high-top version with specified and full chemistry (NorESM1-MLHT and NorESM1-MLHTC) and a version that includes prognostic biogeochemical cycling (NorESM1-ME).

Prerequisites
User-support for NorCPM is currently limited to Norway.
Step 1: New users need to apply for access to computational and storage resources at the Norwegian Metacenter for Computational Science (link to application page: https://www.notur.no/user-account). NorCPM activities are usually tied to the cpu and storage accounts nn9039k and ns9039k, which are held by Noel Keenlyside (noel.keenlyside[at]gfi.uib.no). NorCPM is currently set up on the computational platform HEXAGON (https://www.notur.no/hardware/hexagon).
Step 2: After gaining access to HEXAGON, the user needs to contact the local support (support-uib@notur.no) to be added to the unix-groups "noresm" and "nn9039k".
