What kind of tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry does the E compset have?

Hello everyone,Does anyone know what kind of tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry does the E compset have? I want to perform a simulation with a component set that has stratospheric chemistry but is also coupled to a slab ocean. It is a study about the effects of changes of solar forcing on the stratosphere. Would and E_ component set be able to simulate it correctly?Does the E compset have the Chem-CAM activated? If not does it have the option of it being activated? And lastly what are the differences between WACCM and Chem-CAM? I read the Note of CAM 5.0 but I am still a bit fuzzy on the details. Thank you in advance for your help,Beth

There are several E compset and they used different components (see: list below), but it seems none of them use CAM-Chem. alias: ETEST                     shortname: E_TEST_2000                                                                         longname: 2000_CAM4_CLM40%SP_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_SGLC_SWAV_TEST                                              alias: E1850C5                   shortname: E_1850_CAM5                                                                         longname: 1850_CAM5_CLM40%SP_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_SGLC_SWAV                                                   alias: E1850C5TEST               shortname: E_TEST_1850_CAM5                                                                    longname: 1850_CAM5_CLM40%SP_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_SGLC_SWAV_TEST                                              alias: E1850CN                   shortname: E_1850_CN                                                                           longname: 1850_CAM4_CLM40%CN_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_SGLC_SWAV                                                   alias: E1850C5CN                 shortname: E_1850_CAM5_CN                                                                      longname: 1850_CAM5_CLM40%CN_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_SGLC_SWAV                                                   alias: E1850C5CNTEST             shortname: E_TEST_1850_CAM5_CN                                                                 longname: 1850_CAM5_CLM40%CN_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_SGLC_SWAV_TEST                                              alias: EGCN                      shortname: E_2000_CN_GLC_CISM1                                                                 longname: 2000_CAM4_CLM40%CN_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_CISM1_SWAV                                                  alias: EG1850CN                  shortname: E_1850_CN_GLC_CISM1                                                                 longname: 1850_CAM4_CLM40%CN_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_CISM1_SWAV                                                  alias: EG1850CNTEST              shortname: E_TEST_1850_CN_GLC_CISM1                                                            longname: 1850_CAM4_CLM40%CN_CICE_DOCN%SOM_RTM_CISM1_SWAV_TEST

I see...Thank you very much for the information Hannay.Do you think it would be possible to create a new compset where WACCM and a slab ocean are used? And do you have any idea how long would I need to spin such a model up?
