The Coordinated Model Evaluations Capabilities (CMEC) project (https://cmec.llnl.gov) is a partnership to establish standards, develop tools, and coordinate functionality across Earth system model evaluation codes. The goal of CMEC is to improve interoperability of evaluation tools so as to streamline model evaluation for users and allow evaluation tool developers to grow their userbase. This tutorial will walk users through the CMEC software suite, including CMEC driver (https://github.com/cmecmetrics/cmec-driver), the Module Manager (https://github.com/cmecmetrics/cmec-module-man), and the Data Manager. Users will learn how to install and run the PCMDI Metrics Package (PMP), the International Land Model Benchmarks (ILAMB) and the NOAA Model Diagnostics Task Force (MDTF) Process Oriented Diagnostics modules (PODs) using the CMEC framework. Finally, the tutorial will provide strategies for developing metrics modules that are compliant with the CMEC software suite. Attendees who wish to follow along with the tutorial will need to have access and permission to do the following on a Unix-like or Mac operating system: create a new conda environment, download zipped files, and clone a repository from GitHub. This tutorial is intended for model users, model developers, and evaluation metrics or tool developers.
