Question on CESM2-WACCM sidmassgrowbot Data (SSP245) in CMIP6

While analyzing the sidmassgrowbot variable across experiments (SSP245, SSP370, and historical), I noticed that the values under SSP245 are consistently ~3 orders of magnitude smaller than those in SSP370 and historical runs. This difference seems atypical given the experimental setups.

Is this magnitude reduction in SSP245 an expected outcome due to specific model configurations or forcings unique to this scenario?

  1. Could there be unit inconsistencies, post-processing issues, or missing scale factors in the published SSP245 data?
  2. For reference, I’ve attached picture to illustrate the issue.
