Description

CESM2 Experiment names:

  • FC = fully coupled model, CESM2 (variables freely available on https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/cmip6/)
  • MD = mechanically decoupled model, CESM2
  • SOM = slab ocean model, CESM2

All datasets are for pre-industrial forcing (e.g., piControl), nominal 1-degree horizontal resolution 

---

Decoding the files names:

  • climatology_monthly = 12 month climatology 
  • climatology_annual = time mean climatology
  • variance = anomaly variance computed over time

---

Variables:

  • PRECL = large-scale convective precipitation
  • PRECC = convective precipitation
  • total precipitation (not provided but can be calculated) = PRECC + PRECL
  • HMXL = mixed layer depth
  • SST = sea surface temperature 

Files for the CESM2 MD piControl run:

  1. forcing_coupled.F90: POP2 (ocean) source code changes for cesm2.1.4-rc08 (search for "slarson" throughout code to find our changes
  2. cesm2.1.4-exp03-CTRL_B1850_f09_g17_hourlyclim_TAUX.nc: 6 hourly climatology for TAUX, from a FC run of CESM2. This file and the TAUY climatology are opened and read in the "rotate wind stress" subroutine in forcing_coupled.F90. This file is named "x2oavg_Foxx_taux_6hourly.nc" in forcing_coupled (we wanted a shorter file name in the code)
  3. cesm2.1.4-exp03-CTRL_B1850_f09_g17_hourlyclim_TAUY.nc: 6 hourly climatology for TAUY. This file is named "x2oavg_Foxx_tauy_6hourly.nc" in forcing_coupled (we wanted a shorter file name in the code)
