About pyCESM

Currently consists of two parts:

• Python / numpy implementations of some of the thermodynamic routines (e.g. saturation vapor pressure and specific humidity) used by the CAM atmospheric model.
• A Python interface for working with CAM output that automates some grid-aware diagnostic calculations. This functionality is built on top of xarray.

Based on (and tested with) version 1.2.1 of CESM
