Output bottom 2 layers of CAM

[James King]

Hi all,

For some air quality calculations, I'd like to output the bottom 2 layers of a few fields. Starting with temperature and O3, I can get the surface temperature with 'TS' and the the surface O3 concentration with 'O3_SRF'. Is there a way to get just the bottom 2 layers of the atmosphere without outputting the whole atmosphere and then selecting those layers? The reason here is that I need hourly data for this analysis and 32 layers of CAM-Chem saved every hour will rapidly use up all my disk space. I use CESM2.2.0 on Cheyenne.

Thanks,

James

Hi James,
Are you doing Historical simulations or future day simulations with SSP's?

Hi Anushree,

Future experiments with custom scenarios (but based around the SSPs).
