@ekluzek I appreciate your concern here but I really think that this comment is premature. mizuRoute as far as I can tell is no where near ready and it's not even clear that it will serve as a suitable replacement. Let's not put the cart before the horse.

Thanks for your feedback. We discussed this in our CTSM SE group this morning and the group agree's with you. A notable similar example is that we are moving to FATES, but haven't marked BGC in a similar way. It was also pointed out that the language here (although used in FORTRAN standards) sounds harsher to scientists than we want it to be.

The thing that I want is to have some advertising that mizuRoute is the planned successor to MOSART to RTM. We don't know when that will happen though, and you are right it is quite a way off.

So I'll update the language here...

MOSART is part of CESM3, but is obsolescent.

We do not have support for creating input datasets for MOSART and
as such can NOT use MOSART for Paleo work.

Longer term MOSART will be removed in future versions of CESM and the new model
mizuRoute will be used for Paleo work as well as present day.
It's also possible that external collaborators will support the use of MOSART
for present day climate even as mizuRoute becomes the default model for CESM.

See the CESM web site for documentation and information:
