Simulation data of the DECK, CMIP6 historical, and PMIP4 LGM simulations using the Paleoclimate-Calibrated CESM2

This dataset contains the more frequently-used variables from the DECK (Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima), the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) historical, and the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project phase 4 (PMIP4) Last Glacial Maximum simulations using the Paleoclimate-Calibrated Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2).

The simulations are documented in:
Zhu, J., Otto-Bliesner, B. L., Brady, E. C., Gettelman, A., Bacmeister, J. T., Neale, R. B., Poulsen, C. J., Shaw, J. K., McGraw, Z. S., & Kay, J. E. (2022). LGM paleoclimate constraints inform cloud parameterizations and equilibrium climate sensitivity in CESM2.

Instructions to reproduce the Paleoclimate-Calibrated configuration:
(1) Start from CESM2.1.1 (https://github.com/ESCOMP/CESM/releases/tag/release-cesm2.1.1)
(2) Create a case: create_newcase --case [YOUR_CASE_NAME] --res f19_g17 --compset 1850_CAM60_CLM50%BGC-CROP_CICE_POP2_MOSART_CISM2%NOEVOLVE_WW3 --run-unsupported
(3) Put the micro_mg2_0.F90 (in Individual Files) into the SourceMods/src.cam within your case folder
(4) Put the user_nl_cam (in Individual Files) into your case folder
