I have a gridded map of ground-surface temperature over North America (mean of 1300–1700 CE), and I would like to use it only as an initial condition in a CLM5 restart file (not as forcing).
Is it possible to use these temperatures in the restart file? Should I modify T_SOISNO and T_GRND, and are there other variables, such as soil ice/liquid water, that must also be adjusted to keep the restart physically consistent? And how do we do such a thing?
I only care about the temperature variables because the purpose of this experiment is to use this temperature dataset as the initial condition (both for spin-up and transient runs).
The dataset contains only one ground surface temperature per grid cell, not a full soil temperature profile.
I would be glad if you could help me through this. I searched in the forum, and I only found these two threads, which are not really related to my idea:
How to adjust restart files for my simulations
How to convert column to lon-lat grid
