Accessing CESM2.1.0 "low-top" Historical fully coupled simulation output

Dear Science Help, At http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm2/scientifically-validated-cesm2.html I expected  BHISTcmip60.9x1.25_gx1v7Historicalb.e21.BHIST.f09_g17.CMIP6-historical.003 to be a fully-coupled simulation with prescribed observed radiative forcings.  However, the metadata expansion readsNotesCMIP6 CESM2 AMIP hindcast (1950-2014) with high-top atmosphere (WACCM6) with interactive chemistry (TSMLT1), interactive land (CLM5), data ocean, prescribed sea ice, and non-evolving land ice (CISM2.1). If the metadata Notes are correct, why isn't the "Simulation Type"listed as AMIP?  If this is AMIP (specified SSTs), where is the Historical fully coupled simulation with CESM2.1.0 without WACCM? Thanks in advance for your help. best wishes,gil

Thanks for pointing this out, Gil.We'll get it corrected on that page. In the meantime, that is a fully-coupled "historical" run done with CAM6 (low top) with CMIP6 forcings.
