Naming Convention for CLM use-cases
The build-namelist script checks for conformance with these conventions and won't work for names that
don't follow the convention.
Ending suffix requires one of these endings: _transient, _control or _pd
Transient cases:
yyyy-yyyy_$ssp_rcp$desc_transient (for example 1850-2100_SSP5-8.5_transient)
or
20thC$desc_transient (means nominal 1850-2000 although some datasets are 1850-2005)
or
yyyy-PD_$desc_transient (means nominal year yyyy through present day (PD) (with the year for PD advancing)
Control cases:
yyyy$desc_control
Present day options (uses default present-day simulation year -- which right now is 2000):
$desc_pd
Where
yyyy = Simulation year (such as 1850 or 2000).
yyyy-yyyy = Range of simulation years to run over (i.e.. 1850-2000).
yyyy-PD = Range of simulation years to run over until present day (i.e.. 2018-2024).
$ssp_rcp = Shared Socieconomic Pathway (SSP) Representative concentration pathway (RCP) description string
for future scenarios:
SSP#-#.# (for example: SSP5-8.5, SSP1-2.6, SSP4-6.0
[can be blank for historical cases].
$desc = Description of anything else -- alpha-numeric.
Should start with an underscore ("_") if not by itself
(for _transient and _control).
