The first version of CCSM was created in 1983 as the Community Climate Model. Over the next two decades it was steadily improved and was renamed CCSM after the CSM (Climate System Model) components were introduced in May 1996. In June 2004, NCAR released the third version of CCSM, which included new versions of all of the component models. In 2007, this new version of CCSM (commonly given the acronym CCSM3, or the abbreviation NCCCSM) was used in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, alongside many other GCMs from different countries and institutions. In May 2010, NCAR released CCSM version 4. On June 25, 2010, NCAR released the successor to CCSM, called the Community Earth System Model (CESM), version 1.0, as a unified code release that includes the capability to run CCSM4.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
—L. P. Wandersman (20th century)
“A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
