Also known as	PBS
Model type	Tool
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Global, Continental, Regional-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial, Hydrology, Coastal, Climate, Ecosystems
One-line model description	The PBS is a web-based tool for conducting benchmarking studies of permafrost models.
Extended model description	The Permafrost Benchmark System (PBS) wraps the command-line ILAMB benchmarking system with a customized version of the CSDMS Web Modeling Tool (WMT), and adds tools for uploading CMIP5-compatible model outputs and benchmark datasets. The PBS allows users to access and run ILAMB remotely, without having to install software or data locally; a web browser on a desktop, laptop, or tablet computer is all that’s needed.

Keywords:	CMIP5, WMT, permafrost, data, benchmark,

Supported platforms	Unix, Linux, Mac OS, Windows
Other platform
Programming language	Python

Memory requirements
Typical run time	Minutes to several hours, depending on data.

Describe input parameters	Users can upload ILAMB-compatible model outputs and benchmark datasets to the PBS. More information can be found in the PBS documentation, available at https://permamodel.github.io/pbs.
Input format	ASCII, Binary
Other input format
Describe output parameters	The PBS wraps ILAMB, which produces tabular and graphical statistics from a benchmark analysis. These outputs can be viewed in ILAMB, or downloaded to a user's local machine as a tarball.
Output format	Binary
Other output format
Pre-processing software needed?	No
Describe pre-processing software
Post-processing software needed?	No
Describe post-processing software
Visualization software needed?	No
If above answer is yes
Other visualization software
