Available Containers (current)#

You can find official containers supported by GCST through Docker Hub. Here are containers supported by RIS and group members:

1dandan/gchp-esmf8.0:latest

An environment with ESMF v8.0.0 to support compiling/running GCHP v13 simulations based on Intel compilers.

1dandan/gchp-esmf8.3:latest

An environment with ESMF v8.3.1 to support GCHP v14 simulations based on Intel compilers.

1dandan/gchp-esmf8.3:2023-04

An environment with ESMF v8.3.1 to support GCHP v14 simulations based on a newer version of Intel 2021.1.2 compilers.

geoschem/gcpy:latest

Official GCPy container.

yidant/gchp_env:aws

An environment containing AWS CLI packages.

1dandan/netcdf-utils:latest

An environment with NetCDF Operators (NCO), Climate Data Operators (CDO), and utilities for regridding data (gridspec and sparselt). Running the container requires activation by . /etc/bashrc
