Running with MOAR data as atmospheric forcing to spinup the model

Because it takes so long to spinup the CN model (as we just saw previously), if you are doing fully coupled simulations with active atmosphere and ocean, you will want to do the spinup portion of this "offline". So instead of doing expensive fully coupled simulations for the spinup duration, you run CLM in a very cheap "I" compset using atmospheric forcing from a shorter fully coupled simulation (or a simulation run previously by someone else).

In this example we will use the I1850SPINUPCN compset to setup CLM to run with atmospheric forcing from a previous fully coupled simulation with data that is already stored on disk on bluefire. There are several simulations that have high frequency data for which we can do this. You can also do this on a machine other than bluefire, but would need to download the data from the Earth System Grid and change the datapath similar to Example 4-9.

# The following sets the casename to point to for atm forcing (you could also use an editor)
> ./xmlchange -file env_conf.xml -id DATM_CPL_CASE -val b40.1850.track1.1deg.006a
# The following sets the align year and years to run over for atm forcing

> ./configure -case
# Now build and run as normal
