for help--initial dataset for CAM and SOM

when I run the CAM3.0 model with the slab ocean component turned on. The model is looking for the dataset:
cami_0000-01-01_64x128_T42_L26_SOM_c030918.nc

but I can't find this datasets,and There is a tiny clue in the Readme for defineqflux:
Another executable available (but hopefully unnecessary) in the definesomic
module is (also) called definesomic. It adds necessary SOM fields to an
initial dataset if they are not already there.
but I don't know how to achieve it.

Has anyone know how to get the initial dataset ,please help me ,thanks very much!
 
instead point the namelist variable ncdata to other initial condition file ...

Sorry,I don't understand,detail it please.

and I think the model need the initial datasets :cami_0000-01-01_64x128_T42_L26_SOM_c030918.nc .other initial datasets may not success.how can I get the initial datasets?

... but model forgets initial conditions after a period, so it shouldn't matter for som as you would leave some years of run for spin up. so use the default initial conditions available by specifying it in namelist(ncdata).

thank you for your reply.I try it ,use the initial datasets:cami_0000-09-01_64x128_L26_c030918.nc

but ,the running stop,when I submit the som.csh.
the error:srf states and fluxes
+6539 5:

must needed initial conditions are present in original inic file(refer to user document for which fields are must) and remaining are optional... so principally i guess your model should run with the inic file you gave...
and looking at your error i suggest you to check your ocn mld and qflux boundary condition...

The SOM initializes with a field called TSOCN on the initial file so check that it is on the initial file and has sensible values
