CLM modelled output to use in an undergrad dissertation

Hello CESM,
My name is Cristiana I am an undergrad student at the University of Bristol in the UK. I am completing a dissertation into how El Nino will impact the carbon flux of the Amazon rainforest under RCP8.5. I would like access to the CLM modelled output plots and data to see if there is any data or plots, I might be able to use for my dissertation. I could not find where to access this on this wesbite: CESM2 Community Land Model - CLM5. Unfortunately no one at my university that I have spoken to seems to have used CLM before or researched into ENSO much so I am really struggling to get started and find data and modelled output. I am not looking to run a model as that would take too long. Ideally I would like to find already run experiments and output and data for RCP8.5 and a control run up to 2100 that contains NPP, precipitation, land surface temperature or any other climatic variables such as soil moisture and respiration for the amazon rainforest that I might be able to use. I emailed Elizabeth (CESM program support) and she told me to try here.
Thank you for all your time and help and I hope its okay for me to post on here like this.
All the best,
Cristiana.

For your specific requirements, I would recommend accessing the CESM2 CMIP6 data for RCP8.5 simulations. That includes CLM5 output. You can find that here:


If you search on "CESM2", "ScenarioMIP", "SSP585", you should get a list of available data for your study. E.g., I see a listing for "CMIP6.ScenarioMIP.NCAR.CESM2.ssp585.r11i1p1f1.Lmon.npp.gn", which is monthly NPP (net primary production).

There are some land diagnostics (plots) for these ScenarioMIP simulations through this link available from the web page you mentioned:

Hello Keith,
Thank you for your help. I did find this data yesterday as well on that website but I wasn't able to download any data until I created an account and got Globus. I did both and tried downloading the data through Globus but I keep running into an authentication error so the data download fails. Is there another way to download this data? Or do you know why I keep getting an authentication error on globus transfer? Thank you again for your time.
