DRV_THREADING | FALSE | logical | run_flags | env_run.xml | ['TRUE', 'FALSE'] | b'Turns on component varying thread control in the driver.\n Used to set the driver namelist variable "drv_threading".' |
INFO_TASKMAP_MODEL | 0 | integer | run_flags | env_run.xml | ['0', '1', '2'] | b'Sets level of task-to-node mapping output for the whole model\n (0: no output; 1: compact; 2: verbose).' |
INFO_TASKMAP_COMP | 0 | integer | run_flags | env_run.xml | ['0', '1', '2'] | b'Sets level of task-to-node mapping output for supported component models\n (0: no output; 1: compact; 2: verbose).' |

TPROF_TOTAL | 0 | integer | run_flags | env_run.xml | [] | b'Determines number of times profiler is called over the model run period.\n This sets values for tprof_option and tprof_n that determine the timing output file frequency\n ' |
TIMER_DETAIL | 2 | integer | run_flags | env_run.xml | [] | b'\n integer indicating maximum detail level to profile. This xml\n variable is used to set the namelist variable\n timing_detail_limit. This namelist variable is used by perf_mod\n (in $CIMEROOT/src/share/timing/perf_mod.F90) to turn timers off\n and on depending on calls to the routine t_adj_detailf. If in the\n code a statement appears like t_adj_detailf(+1), then the current\n timer detail level is incremented by 1 and compared to the\n time_detail_limit obtained from the namelist. If the limit is\n exceeded then the timer is turned off.\n ' |

GLC_AVG_PERIOD | yearly | char | run_coupling | env_run.xml | ['glc_coupling_period', 'yearly'] | b"Period at which coupler averages fields sent to GLC.\n This supports doing the averaging to GLC less frequently than GLC is called\n (i.e., separating the averaging frequency from the calling frequency).\n This is useful because there are benefits to only averaging the GLC inputs\n as frequently as they are really needed (yearly for CISM), but GLC needs to\n still be called more frequently than that in order to support mid-year restarts.\n\n Setting GLC_AVG_PERIOD to 'glc_coupling_period' means that the averaging is\n done exactly when the GLC is called (governed by GLC_NCPL).\n\n IMPORTANT: In order to restart mid-year when running with CISM, you MUST specify GLC_AVG_PERIOD = 'yearly'.\n If using GLC_AVG_PERIOD = 'glc_coupling_period' with CISM, you can only restart on year boundaries.\n " |

CPL_ALBAV | FALSE | logical | run_component_cpl | env_run.xml | ['TRUE', 'FALSE'] | b'\n Only used for compsets with DATM and POP (currently C, G and J):\n If true, compute albedos to work with daily avg SW down\n If false (default), albedos are computed with the assumption that downward\n solar radiation from the atm component has a diurnal cycle and zenith-angle\n dependence. This is normally the case when using an active atm component\n If true, albedos are computed with the assumption that downward\n solar radiation from the atm component is a daily average quantity and\n does not have a zenith-angle dependence. This is often the case when\n using a data atm component. Only used for compsets with DATM and POP (currently C, G and J).\n NOTE: This should really depend on the datm forcing and not the compset per se.\n So, for example, whether it is set in a J compset should depend on\n what datm forcing is used.\n ' |
CPL_EPBAL | off | char | run_component_cpl | env_run.xml | ['off', 'ocn'] | b'\n Only used for compsets with DATM and POP (currently C, G and J):\n If ocn, ocn provides EP balance factor for precipitation.\n Provides EP balance factor for precip for POP. A factor computed by\n POP is applied to precipitation so that precipitation balances\n evaporation and ocn global salinity does not drift. This is intended\n for use when coupling POP to a DATM. Only used for C, G and J compsets.\n Default is off\n ' |

This is used to set the driver namelist variable cpl_seq_option.\n CESM1_MOD includes a cesm1.3 mod that swaps ocean merging and atm/ocn flux\n computation.\n RASM_OPTION1 runs prep ocean before the ocean coupling reducing\n most of the lags and field inconsistency but still allowing the ocean to run\n concurrently with the ice and atmosphere.\n RASM_OPTION2 is similar to RASM_OPTION1\n but sequences the ice model, prep ocean and ocean model in that order. The\n ocean model loses some of the concurrency with the ice model.\n CESM1_MOD_TIGHT are consistent with the old variables ocean_tight_coupling = true in the driver.\n ' |
