Dear Community,
I would like to compute the ocean transports and other diagnostics using CESM2 model output. However, the cmip6 website does not provide the thkcello variable. Also, I need the size of the grid cells. Do you know where I can find the data with all this information? Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Estanislao

Apologies for the oversight. I've provided a thkcello file appropriate for use with CESM2, at

ftp://ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/pub/strandwg/thkcello_fx_CESM2_r0i0p0.nc

and all the grid information for the CESM2 ocean model grid. Be aware that the ocean model units are cgs - centimeter/gram/second.

Hello,
We are working on a CMIP6 analysis including CESM2 and require the thkcello variable but the ftp no longer seems to be working. Is there another way to access the file? Thanks for any help!

The thkcello_fx_CESM2_r0i0p0.nc file is back on the ftp site.

Thank you, I was able to access the thkcello file. However, I still need the oxygen (O2) data for the period 2015–2100. It seems that the corresponding O2 file is missing in the CMIP6 archive. Could anyone kindly advise or provide guidance on how to obtain it?

Hello, I would like to calculate the water volume transport of the ocean in CESM2 (320x384 longitude/latitude; 60 levels). This requires some detailed grid information, including grid thickness (thkcello) and grid edge lengths (x-spacing and y-spacing of bouth T-grid and U-grid). I still can't open the FTP link you provided earlier. Where else can I get this data from? Thanks for your help.
