Show moreThis report describes the development of NCAR's Community Climate Model (CCM) software to determine the eigensolutions of a linearized version of the CCM. These eigensolutions may be used for diagnostic analysis, nonlinear normal-mode initialization for numerical weather prediction experiments, or other purposes. Although the software has been designed for the CCM and its initialization, it should be easily modified for use with other models. Show less
