- Results are assigned one of four levels, depending on the level of validation.
- Level 0 (0) - Raw run results;
- Level 1 (1) - Output that passed any output analysis routines provided by the model developers (if such routines are available);
- Level 2 (2) - Output checked by Code Developers and/or CCMC staff
- Negative Level (-1) - Problems in output results are found. Simulations will be rerun with new input data and/or a newcode version.
Only Level 2 outputs should be used for scientific analysis or metrics studies. All users are encouraged to contact the code developers for the purpose of publication.
