warm pool heating exp. question

[tao_zhang@noaa_gov]

I am using CAM3 climatological SSTs as model forcing to do the warm pool heating experiment, I have replaced the original
"sst_HadOIBl_bc_64x128_clim_c020411.nc" with "sst_HadOIBl_bc_64x128_clim_c020411_plusanom.nc" which
is imposed 1K anomaly over the warm pool.
The modified SST is archived in my home directory
/home/blackforest/taoz/cam3.0/usr_src/sst_HadOIBl_bc_64x128_clim_c020411_plusanom.nc

My question is how to get the perturbed run started corretly in "blackforest"?
Specifically, I want to use a modified code in my home directory
/home/blackforest/taoz/cam3.0/usr_src/ to replace the original code and read in the new modified SST, So I wonder where to modify
the code and runscript and how to do?

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Why do you want to modify code? This is not necessary if all you want to do is replace the SST file. To use your modified SST file, you can set the value of the namelist variable BNDTVS to point at the appropriate file.

I found this information by looking in the online user's guide, and you could too -- BNDTVS is described here:
http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/models/atm-cam/docs/usersguide/node45.html#bndtvs

For how to include it in a build-namelist command, see that section of the user's guide, particularly the -namelist option to build-namelist.
