Question about setting up a 2020 (RCP8.5) control run

Hi there,

I am Qinxue, a graduate student in Penn State University. I am going to set up a 2020 control run with RCP8.5 scenario. I met a question that since there are no pre-defined component set for 2020 control (RCP8.5), I need to define the component set by myself. However, when I go to the 'config_compsets.xml', the 'USER_DEFINED section' seems only allow four characters (letters) for the year/scenario. To be more specific, a compset starting with '2000' means a 2000 control run, and starting by '20TR' means 1850 to 2000 transient, and 'RCP8' means 2006-2100 transient using RCP8.5 scenario.

So it seems it doesn't allow me to define a control run under RCP8.5. Do you have any ideas then how to set up the model? Thanks very much! I appreciate any comments and suggestions!

Cheers,
Qinxue
