aqua planet SST distribution

I'd like to change the analytic SST distribution in the aqua planet mode, but I've been having some difficulty finding the code I need to modify. I've been using the "source code browser," but either I am missing something, or there isn't an obvious place to make the change (my guess is that I'm missing something). Can someone point me in the right direction here? Thanks.

Brian,

I have altered the SSTs in aquaplanet many times. The file you are looking for is models/atm/cam/src/ocnsice/dom/sst_data.F90. In this file, around line 524 the aquaplanet SST code begins. There is a variable called sst_option that is initially set equal to one. This calculates the original aquaplanet SST, which you will see if you scroll down about 50 lines. You can set sst_option to some other number and insert your own calculations using that other number as well.

Hope that helps.

Cathy
