CESM1-FAMIPC5CN

[Jaeyoung Hwang]

Hello, everyone

I have a silly (?) question about running CESM1 v.1.2.1 with composet of FAMIP5C5CN (AMIP-experiment).
I know that CESM-AMIP-large ensembles (e.g., TOGA) are released. Unfortunately, only daily and monthly data are available (I need the 6-hourly data).
So, I plan to perform AMIP experiment for the period of 1990-2005.
In that case, how do I set the starting (and end) year of the experiment?

+ I'd like to know how to set the E2000C5CN manually (E1850C5CN compset is supported).

Thanks for sparing time for me!

After you call create_newcase, you can cd into your case directory and set the run start date with a xmlchange call:
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id RUN_STARTDATE -val 1990-01-01

You can set the end date by using STOP and STOP_OPTION.
For example, to tell the model to run for 5 years:
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id STOP_OPTION -val nyears
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id STOP_N -val 5

See the list of CESM 1.2 env_run.xml variables that can be set here:

I cannot speak unfortunately as to how to setup a E2000C5CN run.
