missing cam initial conditions

Hi All,  I'm using CESM1.1.2  and its crashing because the model is missing b.e11.B20TRC5CNBDRD.f09_g16.001.cam.i.1880-01-01-00000.nc. It seems these are initial condition files for CAM and you can shove these files into your own model directory to for the run to work. I havent found where to get the files yet. Can anybody direct me to where I can grab them, thanks!

I looked on the HPSS and I couldn't locate that file. For that case, I also found IC starting in 1997. Do you really need that file specifically? For cam the model spins up very quickly (weeks), so I suggest you use a IC from another year (or you could also use IC from another case).ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.ucadcd pub/hannayThe file is:  b.e11.B20TRC5CNBDRD.f09_g16.001.cam.i.1997-01-01-00000.nc  You can copy this file into your run directroy then edit user_ncl_cam and add
ncdata = 'b.e11.B20TRC5CNBDRD.f09_g16.001.cam.i.1997-01-01-00000.nc'

Of course, thsi workaround is only if you are missing the cam IC. If you are missing other files, this is another story
