In the examples below, a grid for a small refined region at ne30x8 (ne240, 1/8 deg) centered over Nanjing will be created, using NAME=Nanjing, RESOL=ne30x8, so
$(grid_name) = ne0np4.Nanjing.ne30x8 and $(grid_label) = Nanjing_ne30x8.

...

Set up a repository for your grid

Create a directory in your /glade/work/$USER/ space to save for a repository of your created files ($REPO).  For example, /glade/work/emmons/tutorial_Nanjing/ne0np4.Nanjing.ne30x8.

Create a new variable resolution mesh (VRM)

In your repository directory, create a 'grids' subdirectory.

On casper start the VRM Editor from your $REPO/grids directory: 

> /glade/work/emmons/tutorial_Nanjing/VRM_tools/VRM_Editor/src/VRM_Editor

If you are working on a different computer, download the VRM_tools software by running:

> git clone https://github.com/ESMCI/Community_Mesh_Generation_Toolkit.git

Set up the base grid

On the ‘VRM’ tab, select:
