multiple start dates using multi-instance functionality?

I'm using the multi-instance functionality of CESM (e.g., NINST_ATM, NINST_LND, etc. = 15), but the start date ("start_ymd" variable) is the same for all of them. Is there a way to alter the start dates for the different instances? I have different atmospheric daily initial conditions for each of my 15 instances, but I'm using the same climatological SST dataset for boundary conditions, so it'd be ideal if the SSTs were interpolated correctly in time.

I'm afraid you can't do this easily as the start_ymd variable is read from the user_nl_cpl and the current multi-instance functionalilty only supports a single coupler namelist.
