The initial conditions

Hi Mike,
Have you got the ic input files for WACCM at CESM1.2.1 on 2012-12-01 or on 2013-01-01 ? I'm trying to simulate the SSW in 2013 Jan. by SD-WACCM. Any suggestion for the source of the SD files?

I have put IC files for January 1, years 2000-2012 at:ftp://acd.ucar.edu/user/mmills/inputdata/atm/waccm/icThe files are named:wa4_cesm1_1_b02_geos5_2x_sim153f.cam2.i.20*-01-01-00000.ncOf the SD runs we have available prior to 2005, this one has chemistry that is most similar that used in the release version that you are using. However, it has a number of tropospheric species that are not in the release version. Therefore, you should pick an IC that is about 4 years prior to any years that you wish to use, as the effects of different tropospheric chemistry may linger during the spinup period.

Hello,I was wondering whether the IC input files for WACCM could now be available also for 1st January 2013 (or even possibly 2014)?Thank you.Thibaut.

We do not have an IC file available for SD-WACCM beyond 2012 at this time. We are currently working on setting up a new run to extend through 2014.
