Equilibrium time for CCSM3.0 (coupled CAM and POP)

Hello,

I am a new postgraduate student learning to use CCSM3.0 with the fully coupled CAM and POP models. I have tried to find in the CCSM3.0 manuals and online the recommended time for equilibrium for this model setup. I understand that around 100-300 years is required for equilibrium. Would you please tell me what would be a reasonable timeframe to use for my preliminary simulations.

Much appreciated,

Judy Tong.
