The CESM Paleoclimate Working Group (PWG) and Whole Atmosphere Working Group (WAWG) conducted a Last Millennium (LM) community experiment with the high-top WACCM6ma version of CESM2.1. A corresponding 850CE Control simulation was also run. The LM simulation extends from years 850 through 1849CE forced by reconstructions for the transient evolution of solar intensity, volcanic emissions, greenhouse gases, aerosols, land use conditions, and orbital parameters. The control simulation has forcings fixed at 850CE conditions.
The LM and Control simulations both used WACCM6-FV2 (1.9 by 2.5 degree) with middle atmosphere chemistry, interactive land (CLM5, 1.9 by 2.5 degree), coupled ocean (POP2) with biogeochemistry (MARBL), interactive sea ice (CICE5.1), and non-evolving land ice (CISM2.1).

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
