AM3, Amip-style simulation: how is SST+4K achieved?

Hi, Team

I have run an AMIP-style AM3 simulation with SST+4K. I can confirm that the SST is increased by 4K as expected. I am wondering how this is achieved either in the model source code or configuration? I am asking because I may be interested in changing the magnitude to investigate non-linear responses, as in some literature.

Regards, Qinggang.

@qinggangg can you give more information on what you have run? What suite is it? Where or who is it from?

Hi @clairecarouge, Sure, sorry for being unclear at the first stage.

I have run the alpha release of the ACCESS-AM3, and a sensitivity test by changing SST Configuration in suite conf > Model Configuration from Base SST to SST+4K here: /home/563/qg8515/roses/am3-controlp4k.

Hi @qinggangg,

In essence, from what I can see, the SST climatology file is being replaced with another that has had 4K added to it. This is all handled by the rose/cylc optional configs.

The optional EXPT_SST=“sstp4k” path is defined in ~/roses/suite-id/app/install_ancil/opt/rose-app-sstp4k.conf

You could edit that path to a file you prepared differently. You could further edit rose/cylc meta and then add an optional config file for a new EXPT_SST option.

Please reach out if you need help.

Thank you @cbengel I will check how to handle files like qrclim.sst.
