CIME框架阅读翻译笔记前言

最近在学CESM（The Community Earth System Model）社区地球系统模式，而CESM是由CIME框架搭建起来的。所以先学CIME的官方用户手册，附上链接CIME

Microsoft Edge的网页翻译太抽象了，一边开着百度翻译网页一边对照着读。读着读着很容易看过就忘了，所以记录一下。有些专有名词翻译的不是很准。

What is CIME ?

Overview

CIME, pronounced “SEAM”, primarily consists of a Case Control System that supports the configuration, compilation, execution, system testing and unit testing of an Earth System Model. The two main components of the Case Control System are:
CIME 发音为“SEAM”，主要包含一个支持地球系统模式的配置、编译、运行、系统测试和单元测试的案例控制系统。这个案例控制系统主要包含两个组成部分：

1. Scripts to enable simple generation of model executables and associated input files for different scientific cases, component resolutions and combinations of full, data and stub components with a handful of commands.
使用一些命令就可简单生成/ 对于不同科学案例、组分分辨率和完整组件、数据组件及存根组件的/ 模式可执行文件及相关输入文件的脚本。

2. Testing utilities to run defined system tests and report results for different configurations of the coupled system.
为耦合系统的不同配置，运行定义的系统测试并报告结果的测试实用程序。

CIME also contains additional stand-alone tools, including:
Parallel regridding weight generation program
Scripts to automate off-line load-balancing.
Scripts to conduct ensemble-based statistical consistency tests.
Netcdf file comparison program (for bit-for-bit).
CIME还包含其他独立工具，包括：
并行重填权重生成程序
自动化离线负载平衡的脚本。
用于执行基于集合的统计一致性测试的脚本。
Netcdf文件比较程序（for bit-to-bit）

CIME does not contain the source code for any Earth System Model drivers or components. It is typically included alongside the source code of a host model. However, CIME does include pointers to external repositories that contain drivers, data models and other test components. These external components can be easily assembled to facilitate end-to-end system tests of the CIME infrastructure, which are defined in the CIME repository.
CIME并不包含任何地球系统模式驱动器或组份的源代码。它通常与主模型的源代码一起包含。但是CIME确实包含指向含有驱动器、数据模型和其他测试组分的外部库的指针。这些外部组件可以很容易地组装起来，以便于CIME框架的end-to-end系统测试，这些测试被定义在CIME的储存库里。

Development

CIME is developed in an open-source, public repository hosted under the Earth System Model Computational Infrastructure (ESMCI) organization on Github at http://github.com/ESMCI/cime.
CIME是在Github上的地球系统模型计算基础设施（ESMCI）组织下的一个开源公共存储库中开发的.
