Welcome to the C2SM User Landing Page!
Here we collect helpful information for scientists and partners about the C2SM core team, tasks, support, the Alps system, models, tools, datasets and much more.
We are excited to share that a Glossary has been added to our landing page!
It includes most — if not all — of the abbreviations and technical terms used throughout our site. This is especially helpful for new C2SM members who may not yet be familiar with all the jargon.
Curious about what SPICE has to do with limited-area modeling? Or wondering about the difference between CESM and C2SM? You will find the answers in the Glossary — check it out!

We are pleased to announce that our website has a new design as of today! With this change, we are trying to standardise the documentation we provide to the C2SM community.
