how to add boundary condition when run clm4 off line

[weichun_tao@kaust_edu_sa]

I'm running CLM4 off line for dust simulation. An important factor have to be provided as boundary dataset.
But I have no idea how to use boundary data in CLM4.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Dear Weichun,

The clm reads various files to run, for example, the fsurdat file. To read a new boundary condition you could add it to the fsurdat file and add a bit of code in surfrdMod to read the new variable. Alternatively, you could read your data from a separate netCDF file using surfrdMod as a template. Or you could even read the new boundary condition from an ascii file. If you're not familiar how to read ascii data in fortran, then you need to read about that in a fortran book.
