Prescribe surface heat flux to force CAM?

[yi-hui_wang@jpl_nasa_gov]

Hi there,I am interested in atmospheric circulation responses to anomalous surface heat fluxes. I know that I can add surface heat flux forcing to ocean heat transport (Q) in the slab ocean model, coupled to CAM. Can I impose prescribed surface heat flux instead of prescribed SST in the F compset? If so, does anyone know how to do it? I really appreciate any suggestion. Thank you very much.

I don't think this is possible without code modification.  The
surface heat fluxes passed to CAM are put into the 'cam_in'
import state object.  There is an example of code that overwrites
these surface inputs which is part of the specified dynamics
option in the FV dycore; see the get_met_srf2 subroutine in
dynamics/fv/metdata.F90.  This routine is called at the beginning
of the phys_run2 subroutine.  You could do something similar
without using the FV -offline_dyn option.  A standalone
subroutine could be implemented that reads the specified fluxes
and overwrites the appropriate cam_in component.  This is a
fairly complex coding effort.

Hi,I meet the same question and do not know how to do.Do you solve this problem? If you do, please give me some advice.I will appreciate your help. Jing
