Summary
The Community Atmosphere Model with Chemistry (CAM-chem) is a component of the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM) and is used for simulations of global tropospheric and stratospheric atmospheric composition. CAM-chem uses the MOZART chemical mechanism, with various choices of complexity for tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry. The first version of CAM-chem is described in Lamarque et al. (2012), CAM-chem, as used for CCMI and HTAP, is described in Tilmes et al. (2016), CAM-chem in CESM1.2 is described in Tilmes et al. (2015). [From NCAR]
