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.

Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address https://github.com/permamodel/pbs Source csdms web address Program license type Apache public license Program license type other 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 Describe processes represented by the model Describe key physical parameters and equations Describe length scale and resolution constraints Describe time scale and resolution constraints Describe any numerical limitations and issues Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? ILAMB development is ongoing. The PBS developers hope to continue to update the PBS to take advantage of new features in ILAMB. Is there a manual available?

Introduction

The Permafrost Benchmark System (PBS) is a collaboration between researchers at NSIDC, NAU, LANL, and CSDMS, for conducting benchmarking studies of permafrost models.

The PBS home page is located at https://permamodel.github.io/pbs. It contains links for registration, for the user guide, and for the developer guide.
