CAM 4 supported grids

[TCNasa]

I'm trying to run CAM with bulk aerosols. I know that CAM40 option uses these. Can anyone tell me a compset that uses CAM40 option AND what the supported grid for that is? Or just any compset with bulk aerosols and supported grid?

Since you didn't say which version of CAM you are using, I am responding based on what is in the current CAM tag (cam6_3_027). The following compsets all use CAM40

F2000Nuopc (uses the new NUOPC coupler and is still under development)
Aquaplanet compsets (QPC4, QPX2000, QPMOZ, QPC41850, QPC4X,QSC4)
FMOZ
FW4madHIST
FW4madSD

None of these compsets are currently "scientifically supported", which means that extensive testing has been done and science papers have been written.

The following compset/grid combinations are "tested", which means that they have been tested on one or machines during standard regression testing.
QPC4 (f19_f19_mg17, T5_T5_mg37, f10_f10_mg37, ne16_ne16_mg17,ne16pg3_ne16pg3_mg17,T42_T42_mg17)
QPX2000(ne5pg3_ne5pg3_mg37, f19_f19_mg17,ne16_ne16_mg17)
QPMOZ(f19_f19_mg17)
QPC41850(f45_f45_mg37)
QSC4(f19_f19_mg17)
FMOZ(f19_f19_mg17)
FW4madHIST(f19_f19_mg17)
FW4madSD(f19_f19_mg17)

I should also point out that the compsets (with scientifically supported grids) can be found at:

CESM2.2.2 Component Sets Definitions

This page doesn't list the grids for the "tested" compsets
