Milestones

List view

  • Things to accomplish by the June CESM workshop in order to report on them.

    Due by June 15, 2026
  • Things to accomplish by the LMWG Winter meeting in order to report on them.

    Due by February 24, 2026
  • Things that need to get into the next cesm3_0 development beta tag. Initial MT tuning complete CMIP Workflow tools in place (though possibly not streamlined or fully documented) Emissions-capability in place

    Due by December 12, 2025
    5/12 issues closed
  • Fully coupled CMIP7 simulations need to begin. So the CMIP7 process needs to be finalized by this date.

    Due by January 19, 2026
  • Including soft freeze of land parameters (dust, fire, crop, etc) + CMIP7 datasets Any structural decisions that affect ENSO, Tropical P land biases, Antarctic sea ice Preliminary tuning values for LT configuration Clm60Sp Clm60BgcCrop parameter files can change after this. IC files can be updated This will be the ctsm5.4 development release version

    Due by November 14, 2025
    10/12 issues closed
  • This hasn't been prioritized yet, but this is something that we think really should happen. In order for it to really happen it needs to be moved into a tangible milestone. So putting it here means it's probably longer timescale than the existing milestones. As it isn't a more immediate priority, or we don't have the bandwidth to handle it, but we do think it's important to do at least long term. In many cases it's something we'd like to do NOW, but know it's not important enough to do immediately in order to get the true near term priorities done. In Scrum Agile Software Development Methodology (SDM) terminology this is something in the "Backlog".

    Due by December 31, 2040
    3/40 issues closed
  • Post cesm3.0 science and software developments into the CESM release series.

    Due by December 12, 2030
    2/49 issues closed
  • Post cesm3.0/ctsm6.0.0 developments.

    Due by March 26, 2027
    1/26 issues closed
  • Dataset updates associated with bringing in CMIP7 datasets. This covers surface datasets for certain. But, likely other forcing datasets as well and future scenarios. Expecting to need a month after datasets are made available to make this minor version tag. The first part of this is to make ctsm5.4.0 with the updated datasets The second part will be to make the release tag with everything needed for the release itself

    Due by November 3, 2025
    44/63 issues closed
  • Tuning of CTSM needs to be accomplished by this date, and changes to answers have to be approved by the CESM Project, co-chairs, and SSC. We will allow non-standard things (for example FATES) to change after this date. But, everything that will affect coupled simulations MUST not-change answers without approval.

    Due by November 15, 2025
    38/69 issues closed
  • This is the tag on the ctsm6.0.0 release-cesm3.0 branch (from ctsm6.0.0) that will be used in the actual CESM3.0.0 release given to the public. Science MUST be ALL done at this point. Limited Bug fixes approved by the entire CESM project and CESM SSC is required for anything that changes answers.

    Due by March 13, 2026
    6/40 issues closed
  • Things that we want to see in the ctsm6.0.0 release. Which will be the starting point for the CESM3.0.0 release branch. This will be marked as a release.

    Due by February 13, 2026
