Hi

I am planning to compile aqua-planet mode in CAM5 of CESM 1.0.3 on a multi(12) processor machine. I want to run the model with my own file of SST distribution i.e, I want to read some sst nc file with ocn_comp.f90 file.
please help me

The subroutine that prescribes SSTs in aqua-planet mode is
"prescribed_sst" in the file:
models/atm/cam/src/utils/cam_aqua/ocn_comp.F90

You will need to override this routine with one of your own that reads your dataset.

Note: Aquaplanet can only be configured, built and run from CAM standalone scripts. It
cannot be built from the CESM script framework.

In the configure add the flags:

-phys cam5 -ocn aquaplanet

and in the build-namelist, add the flag:

-use_case aquaplanet_cam5


Also note that some of the boundary datasets feeding into CAM5 physics may
not be appropriate for aquaplanet experiments as they have an obvious land signature
associated with them (such as aerosols) and are not zonally averaged nor hemispherically
symmetric (which may or may not be an issue in your research)
