pop boundary and initial conditions

Dear Forum, I wanted to ask if there is a summary of the different boundary and initial conditions (spun-up ocean states with different atmospheric boundary condition climatologies)?More precisely: Are there any initial and boundary conditions available that would correspond to a CAM run with modern day Hurrel SST climatology? Thanks!

The short answer is no. The closest we might have is an initial state from active sea ice-ocean runs forced by the data atmosphere. These are the G compsets and can use either a repeating annual cycle of atmospheric forcing or an interannually varying (1948-2010) set of forcing based on the NCEP/NCAR renalysis and various other observational products or the so-called CORE2 (Large and Yeager) forcing.
