The ICCP is pleased to announce the launch of the CESM2 Large Ensemble in partnership with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, USA. The CESM2 Large Ensemble consists of 100 members at 1-degree spatial resolution covering the period 1850-2100 under CMIP6 historical and SSP3-7.0 future radiative forcing scenarios. Calculations were completed in May 2021, and are available on https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ucar.cgd.cesm2le.output.html and on the ICCP Live Access server (LAS). https://climatedata.ibs.re.kr/las which provides a user-friendly web interface for plotting and analysis of ensemble mean and standard deviations.
