Hi all,I want to modify the restart file of a simulation, and use the resulting file as the initial condition of a new run. I want to modify the surface zonal wind stress by introducing an anomaly in the western Pacific, and see what is the effect on the evolution of the ocean subsurface (ENSO). - Which variable/s should I modify from the restart file/s? - Should I modify "U" from CAM's restart file at the lowest tropospheric level only? Should I modify it at other low vertical levels, so that the model is not somehow unstable? (e.g. prescribed zonal wind anomaly that decreases in magnitude to zero with altitude?). - Should I modifiy other variables? If so, which ones and how (in order to keep the coherence between variables)? Is there a way to modify the wind stress directly?This is the configuration of my experiments: 1.9x2.5_gx1v6 and 2000_CAM5_CLM40%SP_CICE_POP2_RTM_SGLC_SWAV.Thank you so much.joan
