FSM2

What problem does it solve?

FSM2 automates end-to-end autonomous snow-model simulations for cryosphere studies, enabling researchers to run multi-point, physics-configurable forecasts and reproduce results with a single workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fully-configurable model workflow: configure forcing, soil, vegetation, and physics to produce repeatable simulations across basins and time periods.
• Automated execution & validation: compile and run the FSM2 binary, then parse outputs for comparison with observations or benchmarks.
• Use Case: enable a rapid sensitivity study of canopy effects on snow accumulation by running multiple configurations and streaming results into a unified report.

Quick Start

Execute a complete FSM2 run by preparing a namelist, building with the included tools, running the model, and confirming outputs appear in run directories.
