Hi,    I want to restore the sfwf in CESM. first of all, I need to write a nc file insteat a binary file. The default file is sfwf_mm_PHC2_salx_flxio_20090831.ieeer8 , I didnt know what dimension and variable included in this file.?    if I really write a nc file , what's the name and dimention of this variables ?     any reply would be very appreciated.  It is very important to me ! thanks !                                                       Qin Wen

The experiment that you want to conduct is not an  "out-of-the-box" option, so you will need to do a lot of work to understand the code well enough to make your modifications.There is only limited documentation on the the contents of the binary input data file, so unfortunately, you will need to read and understand the code and options used in the forcing_sfwf.F90 module and the POP file-reading routines. In my opinion, your tasks require expert-level understanding of the POP code, and I do not have sufficient experience to help you with this. Perhaps someone else on this discussion board has done something similar and would be willing and able to help you.
