CESM2-SLH Description Paper: Code and Data

This dataset contains information related to the paper entitled "Short-Lived Halogen Sources and Chemistry in the Community Earth System Model v2 (CESM2-SLH)" submitted for publication in GMD (Geoscientific Model Development). In the work we summarize 15 years of research and developments of SLH in CESM and present a complete description of the implementation and capabilities achieved with the new released version CESM2-SLH, including the modified building scripts and updated routines, the specific namelist options for each compset, the input files and technical notes detailing the most important SLH updates that must be considered for the different model configurations and resolutions. The benchmark CESM code is available from https://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm2. The complete software code for CESM2-SLH (cesm2.2-asdbranch_slh) can be downloaded from the following Github link (https://github.com/RafaPedroFernandez/CESM/tree/cesm2.2-asdbranch_slh), which was created as a fork version of the CESM repository maintained by the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at (https://github.com/ESCOMP/CESM/tree/cesm2.2-asdbranch). All code and data required to run the CESM2-SLH version is available within the individual subfolders included in Mendeley Datasets as described below.
