I am particularly interested in the period 2000 - 2005.

If it comes from prescribing surface emissions, which emissions and what cumulus cloud physics was used?

Thank you!

The file was produced from a CAM3.5 chemistry run, and the emissions are from the IPCC scenario RCP2.6. The cumulus cloud physics should be similar to what is in the current version of CESM-CAM4Chem.

Thank you! For comparison, Is there an alternative file where the aerosol are only advected given surface emissions and reanalysis wind?

Regarding the file above, I think this is the publication that describes it:

Atmos. Chem. Phys., 10, 7017–7039, 2010

If it is cam3.5 it does not have the entraining plume for calculating CAPE and the convective momentum transport.

I asked Jean-Francois Lamarque which cam tag was used for these runs and he told me cam3_6_15.  That means that the Neale/Richter modifications to the deep convection for dilute plumes and convective momentum transport are included in the simulations.
