CESM2-CMIP5 Forcing Simulations

The available simulations include:

  • A 500-year pre-industrial run
  • 10 ensemble forced by CESM1 historical-like and RCP8.5-like datasets
    • Similar to CESM1-LE, ensemble member 1 was integrated forward from 1850 to 2100
    • Ensemble members 2–10 were all started in 1920 using slightly different initial conditions with a ‘pertlim’ pertubation

The datasets are available to the Community on the CISL campaign storage:
