Edting CAM initial condition

[balaguru_karthik@gmail_com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the 'b30.031.0881' restart file. The thing is I want to keep the ocean initial condition the same as that in this file but slightly modify the atmosphere initial condition. So I want to use the atmosphere initial condition of say 875,876,877 etc; keeping the ocean,ice and land inital condition fixed at 880. I'll greatly appreciate it if anybody can give me some suggestions as to how to go about achieving this. Thanks!

i guess you can use a hybrid run , point to inic file in atmosphere namelist(ncdata)...

Hey Suvarchal,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I thought when I use the option of Hybrid run, it automatically uses the CAM initial file. Do I have to still mention it in the namelist? If yes, can you please tell me which is that file and how I should do it? Thanks a lot!

as you wanted to use different combination of atm inic to different ocn i thought this would be easy.. use ncdata = 'absolute path of inic file you intend' in atm name list...

I think you are right. But I guess if you specify a Hybrid run, it automatically takes the cam.i.nc file instead of the restart file and it would automatically set that in the CAM namelist. I mean we won't have to manually edit the namelist, unless we have a different initial file somewhere else.
