Abstract: The article explores the evaluation and description of the global Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) version 4 for atmospheric chemistry in Community Earth System Model (CESM). It reports that the atmospheric chemistry is responsible for the distribution of non-carbon dioxide gases and aerosols which influence the climate and air quality. Details on topics including the offline meteorology, chemical mechanisms, and emissions are discussed.
