RCPs scenario with CESM

[khj]

Hi all,
I have a question. What settings should we make regarding future performances (RCPs) with the CESM model? I want to study global warming from 2000 to 2100. Are there separate compsets for these performances?

Hi,

There's the following compsets for CESM2.1.3
BWSSP126cmip6, BWSSP245cmip6, BWSSP370cmip6, BWSSP585cmip6, BWSSP534oscmip6, BSSP585cmip6, BSSP126cmip6, BSSP245cmip6, BSSP370cmip6

The BWSSP compsets use WACCM, and the BSSP compsets use CAM.

Thank you very much for your answer.
Do you need other settings to run the model in RCP mode other than selecting Compset?

And that with CESM2.2 model, RCP scenarios can be run?

Please take a look at the simulations done with CESM2 using CMIP5 forcings:
