Code, model configuration, and analysis data for simulations of renewable energy using E3SM SCREAM–ELM California regionally refined models with default and improved urban representations

RRM_SCREAMv0_dev_bridge1007m.tar.gz: The code used to generate the SCREAM–ELM CTRL simulations for the paper entitled “Quantifying the impacts of improved urban representation in kilometer-scale E3SM RRM and implications for renewable energy”, to be submitted to Geoscientific Model Development. RRM_SCREAMv0_dev_bridge1007m_U.tar.gz: The code used to generate the SCREAM–ELM TEST simulations for the same paper.
