The MCMC provides model source code and model output for community use
Model and Analysis Pipeline Code
A primary function of the MCMC is to make Mars GCMs and analysis tools available to the community.

A primary function of the MCMC is to make GCM output available to the community. These model output datasets will be available from NAS’s Data Portal. We currently offer a one-year climatology dataset from the Legacy Mars GCM as documented by Haberle et al. (2019).

Mars Global Climate Model (GCM) Tutorial
The Mars Climate Modeling Center at NASA Ames Research Center hosted a virtual modeling tutorial November 2-4, 2021. The tutorial aimed to teach new users how to use and analyze output from the NASA Ames Legacy Mars Global Climate Model (GCM). The tutorial included lectures and hands-on sessions with the goal of teaching participants about the basic physics in the model, its subroutines and flow diagrams, how to make changes to the code, how to compile and run the model, and how to analyze model output. Students, teachers, and researchers with a range of numerical modeling experiences participated.
