Hello,
I am trying to use the CMIP6 CESM2 data to drive a WRF regional climate model simulation. I have pre-processed the daily average data for use with WRF (from day/Eday/CFday/Oday), but would ideally like to use 6 hourly instantaneous data (Plev, or Lev if necessary).
Does anyone know if this data still exists? I've looked at various CMIP repositories (e.g. ESGF MetaGrid), but it seems the links are broken for the Lev and Plev data. It's been suggested to me to use the LENS2 ensemble simulations, but I think these only go to 2100, and one reason for using CESM2 was to run to 2150.
I am also wondering about the soil data, I need to input soil moisture as a fraction (kg/kg). I can use the mrso and mrsos files, but to do the conversion I need to know the depth of the soil layers they are calculated over. Does someone know this? mrsos for example is described as 'the mass of water in all phases in a thin surface soil layer'. This is often 10 cm in other models, but that doesn't seem to match the soil layers in CESM2 so seems unlikely! Any help would be much appreciated.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask questions about the CMIP6 runs, but hopefully someone might know. Any help on either point much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Emily
