historical ozone forcing for WACCM prescribed chemistry run.

[mudryk@cita_utoronto_ca]

Hi

I'm trying to run the WACCM model as part of a composet B CESM simulation, however I'm running with prescribed chemistry by setting the -chem waccm_ghg flag.

I'd like to know if there is a time-varying historical ozone data set (1850-2005) extending above 3hPa that can be used for such a run. The one used for the CAM model only has 26 levels. As far as I know the current release of WACCM only supplies a climatological forcing file for O3, rather than a time-varying file.

Lawrence.

Apologies for the delay in replying. Output from our 1850-2005 WACCM runs will be publicly released according to the CMIP5 data policy, following publication of our first paper based on them, which will be submitted by the end of 2011.
