How to get extended prescribed SST data

Hi everyone, i am using FHIST compset, trying to do simulation in year 2021. However, the default prescribed SST data sst_HadOIBl_bc_0.9x1.25_1850_2017_c180507.nc only has time range from 1850 to 2017.

Is there any way i can download SST of 2021 for initiation? I notice that sst_HadOIBl_bc_0.9x1.25_1850_2017_c180507.nc is produced according to Hurrell et al. [2008]Chapter 3. Input datasets). I tried to download data from Dataset: Merged Hadley-OI sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration data set., but i find the variable is named "Sea surface temperature" , which is different from "BCS Pseudo SST" in sst_HadOIBl_bc_0.9x1.25_1850_2017_c180507.nc

Can anyone tell me how to download or make prescribed SST data of 2021 for F compset?

The datasets provided here: Dataset: Merged Hadley-OI sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration data set are the raw SST/ice datasets. One needs to use (what we call) the diddling software on the datasets to prepare them to be forcings in F-compset simulations. In this case, we have already diddled the datasets. I have copied the data file you are looking for to here:
https://ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/archive/SSTICE/sst_HadOIBl_bc_0.9x1.25_1850_2022_c230628.nc.gz (735MB)
Thanks a lot! Does the "diddling software" refer to /CESM/components/cam/tools/icesst?

Yes. The diddling software is older and can be hard to run (depending on the system). As that is the case, I thought it best to provide you with the diddled file as we already had it.
