Hybrid run in gray-radiation aquaplanet

Hi,

I'm using the FGRAYRAD compset in cesm2_3_alpha17f. I want to do a 2xCO2-like experiment (instantaneous increase in longwave optical depth), but when I tried to do a hybrid run it just initializes to the default starting temperature rather than starting from the reference case. Do the simpler models support hybrid runs?

Here's my process:
1. create case
`./create_newcase --case ~/cases/fgray.ghg_reg.winter --compset FGRAYRAD --res f09_f09_mg17 --run-unsupported`
`cd ~/cases/fgray.ghg_reg.winter`
`./case.setup`

2. set hybrid
`./xmlchange RUN_REFCASE=fgray.ref.winter`
`./xmlchange RUN_REFDATE=0003-01-01`
`./xmlchange RUN_STARTDATE=0003-01-01`
`./xmlchange GET_REFCASE=FALSE`

3. change namelists
add `frierson_tau_eqtr=7.8`to `$CASEDIR/user_nl_cam`
add `frierson_tau_pole=1.95`to `$CASEDIR/user_nl_cam

4. run
`./xmlchange STOP_N=12,STOP_OPTION=nmonths`
`qcmd -- ./case.build`
`./case.submit`

Oops! I was missing a few steps. Here's the corrected workflow:

1. boilerplate
1. `cd ~/code/$CESM/cime/scripts`
2. `./create_newcase --case ~/cases/fgray.ghg_reg.winter --compset FGRAYRAD --res f09_f09_mg17 --run-unsupported`
3. `cd ~/cases/fgray.ghg_reg.winter`
4. `./case.setup`
2. set hybrid
1. `./xmlchange RUN_TYPE=hybrid`
2. `./xmlchange RUN_REFCASE=fgray.ref.winter`
3. `./xmlchange RUN_REFDATE=0004-01-01`
4. `./xmlchange RUN_STARTDATE=0004-01-01`
5. `./xmlchange GET_REFCASE=TRUE`
6. `cp -u -p /glade/derecho/scratch/$USER/fgray.ref.winter/run/* /glade/derecho/scratch/$USER/fgray.ghg_reg.winter/run`
3. change namelists
1. `echo frierson_tau_eqtr=7.8 >> user_nl_cam`
2. `echo frierson_tau_pole=1.95 >> user_nl_cam`
4. set run time
1. `./xmlchange STOP_N=12,STOP_OPTION=nmonths`
5. boilerplate
1. `qcmd -- ./case.build`
2. `./case.submit`

But I still see initialization from the default global mean surface temperature of ~290 K, even though the logs note that the restart files from my previous run were loaded successfully.

Hi Leah,

I'm able to reproduce your problem. It seems like it's going back to the analytic initial conditions for a hybrid run, which I don't think it should be doing. It seems like it works for a branch run. I will ask the software engineers about this. In the mean time, do you think you can do any of what you need to do with a branch run?
