Welcome to the rasmlib documentation

RASM

The Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) is a high resolution, regional, coupled atmosphere - land - sea ice - ocean model that uses the Community Earth System Model (CESM) coupling infrastructure (CPL7) over a Pan-Arctic domain. RASM is composed of five model components:

• Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) atmospheric model
• Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrology model
• RVIC streamflow routing model
• Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model
• Los Alamos Sea Ice model (CICE)

Purpose of rasmlib

rasmlib is a collection of post-processing, analysis, and plotting tools used to support the development of RASM. Many of the scripts and functions in this package were developed specifically for RASM and are likely not applicable to other projects.
