Extend a CAM5/CLM5 AMIP simulation beyond Year 2005

[cskinner]

Hi,

We have been running an AMIP CAM5/CLM5 simulation which is about to finish the 2005 model year. Our compset is as follows:

HIST_CAM50_CLM50%BGC-CROP_CICE%PRES_DOCN%DOM_MOSART_CISM2%NOEVOLVE_SWAV

We have been using the "1850-2005_cam5" CAM_NML_USE_CASE. We would like to extend the simulation from 2006 through 2014. Is our best way forward to create a hybrid run from our last restart file and use an RCP4.5 compset? Alternatively, is there a set of observation-based forcing files we could use that cover the 2006-2014 period (specifying the "1850-PD_cam5" CAM_NML_USE_CASE gives an error when building because it is not a valid use case for our setup).

Thank you,
Chris

There is no observations for the period 2006-2014 for CAM5 except for the SSTs. Your best bet is to use dataset from the RCP4.5 compset with the observed SSTs.

Will do. Thank you.
