In an experiment, I changed the landuse (PFT coverage) in the CLM over a small area of the US. In less than 2 hours of model time, significant differences between the modified and control run output (CAM variables such as temp, sea level pressure) start to appear on opposite ends of the world, which would require waves to propagate faster than sound. However, nothing obviously unphysical seems to appear later in the modified run (just a different solution). I was wondering, if in theory, changing the landuse requires a complete spin up? Or if the initial fields such as soil moisture need to be adjusted before making changes?
Thanks for any help.
