How to change surface albedo forcing for a CAM6 run?

Greetings!

I'm trying to run a set of experiments forced by different climatological surface albedo, like, forced by land surface albedo projection from high-emission scenarios in CMIP6. What's in my mind is:

- start with a compset, like F2010climo;
- change surface albedo in some area;
- run until the simulation reaches equilibrium.

Previously, I've tried to modify surface albedo in SurfaceAlbedo.F90 by halving albedo in some area. But I'd like to know if it's possible to run the model forced by a new albedo map, rather than just modify it in source code? I've generated a new surface albedo file, and then how to impose it in the model run?

Thanks!
