Hi!
I want to run preliminary CESM2 PI and LGM simulations to then use their climate/soil output to feed as input for BIOME4. The final objective is to feed PI- and LGM-equilibrated vegetation derived from BIOME4 to CLM5's dust emission scheme. BIOME4 requires gridded fields of 1) soil water holding capacity in two or more layers (mm/mm), and 2) soil saturated conductivity in two or more layers (mm/h). The problem I have is that I do not know how to obtain these fields as output from CESM. I've found the "HK" history field, but that is the soil hydraulic conductivity, not for soil water saturation conditions. Also, there's the "watfc" history field, which is the water field capacity (m3/m3), but I think this is not the same as soil water holding capacity (mm/mm).
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
