Hi, CESM users. I have known that constant = use the fixed CO2 value from the atmosphere; prognostic = use the prognostic value from the atmosphere; diagnostic = use the diagnostic value from the atmosphere.

While I am confused about the "box_atm_co2", is it means an atmospheric CO2 model coupled with POP2?

If so, the ocean only compset like G1850ECO can be used to examine the influences of ocean on the atmospheric CO2 concentration.
