Development
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:
“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality.
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“To be sure, we have inherited abilities, but our development we owe to thousands of influences coming from the world around us from which we appropriate what we can and what is suitable to us.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
