CESM2 data for "Ocean complexity shapes sea surface temperature variability in a CESM2 coupled model hierarchy" - submitted to JCLI

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:

forcing_coupled.F90: POP2 (ocean) source code changes for cesm2.1.4-rc08 (search for "slarson" throughout code to find our changes

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)

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)
