These data include the subset used by IPCC AR6 WGI authors of the datasets originally published in ESGF for 'CMIP6.HighResMIP.NCAR.CESM1-CAM5-SE-HR' with the full Data Reference Syntax following the template 'mip_era.activity_id.institution_id.source_id.experiment_id.member_id.table_id.variable_id.grid_label.version'. The CESM 1.3 CAM5 spectral element configuration with CMIP5 forcings, hi res climate model, released in 2012, includes the following components: aerosol: MAM3 (same grid as atmos), atmos: CAM5.2 (0.25 degree spectral element; 777602 cells; 30 levels; top level 2.25 mb), atmosChem: MAM3 (same grid as atmos), land: CLM4 (same grid as atmos), ocean: POP2 (3600x2400 longitude/latitude; 62 levels; top grid cell 0-10 m), ocnBgchem: "BEC (same grid as ocean), seaIce: CICE4 (same grid as ocean). The model was run by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Climate and Global Dynamics Laboratory, 1850 Table Mesa Drive, Boulder, CO 80305, USA (NCAR) in native nominal resolutions: aerosol: 25 km, atmos: 25 km, atmosChem: 25 km, land: 25 km, ocean: 10 km, ocnBgchem: 10 km, seaIce: 10 km.
