New Boundary Conditions: A new simulation with more consistent input data across a longer time range, and newer CESM codebase has been completed. CESM2.2:CAM-chem as Boundary Conditions The dataset below is being depreciated. |
Description
We have saved CAM-chem simulation output that is intended to be used as boundary conditions for regional modeling. We used CAM-chem at 0.9x1.25 horizontal resolution simulation with 56 vertical levels. Meteorology is driven by specified dynamics, by nudging with 50h relaxation (1%) to MERRA2 reanalysis. Data is saved as instantaneous fields every 6 hours. See a list of saved species. Chemistry is the MOZART-T1 mechanism, described in Emmons et al. (2019). You can find a description of all simulated species online. We use the MAM4-VBS scheme to model aerosols. Files are collected as daily information (4 time-slices per file). Anthropogenic emissions are from CMIP6, CMIP6 2014 anthropogenic emissions are repeated for dates past 2014 to 2016. Anthropogenic and "other" emissions are changed to SSP5-85 for 2017 onwards. Biogenic emissions are from online MEGAN2.1, fire emissions are from QFED CO2 x FINN emission ratios (from 2015), with emission ratios updated from 2017 onwards. Note that fire emitted DMS 2001-2015 is from CMIP6, in 2016 from GFAS and 2017 onwards from QFED. SST in 2020 are repeated from 2019.
