No simulation exists which does all of the above.
The standard CCM does not include prognostic chemistry. There is a
modified version which does sulfur chemistry and hence predicts
natural and anthropogenic sulfate aerosol (Barth, Rasch, and Kiehl,
Submitted to JGR). This sulfate version was used in recently completed
simulations of 1870--2100. Presumably these data will be released on
the CSM and/or CCM web pages after they have been evaluated. Other
aerosols, such as black carbon and mineral dust, have recently been
added. However, simulations with these aerosols are not as advanced as
the sulfate yet. Below is a reference to a paper on GCC chemistry
simulations.
Hope this helps,
Charlie
