Initial conditions for CESM B_2000_CAM5_CN compset in CESM1_2_2

[yiyi063@email_arizona_edu]

Hello,

I would like to set up a fully coupled simulation running from 1980 to 2016, with constant greenhouse gas emission. Therefore, I chose B_2000_CAM5_CN compset to run this simulation. I was wondering which default initial conditions are used for the "startup" initialization type? Is it better to initialize this simulation from year 1980 restart files in LENS project and change to "hybrid" or "branch" initialization type? Thanks so much for your help in advance!

Best,
Yiyi

Hi Yiyi,

We talked about this the other day a bit. What code base are you using? I'm going to bring @hannay in on this question.

Hi Dave,

I believe it is originally from the following directory on the Cheyenne: /gpfs/fs1/p/cesmdata/cseg/releases/cesm1_2_2_1/
Thank you!
