Then run for enough years to get an approximate steady state (the number depends on what land options you are using – no BGC means a lot fewer years). Then use the resulting restart file as the initial condition for a coupled run that has at least the same atmosphere settings you will eventually use for your production run. Save high-frequency output for multiple years (preferably 10 or more, but a high res run might not have that luxury). Use that atm output to drive a second offline land spin-up, to equilibrate the land to the expected initial climate from the atmosphere. Then use the resulting land restart as finidat for the start of your fully-coupled spin-up simulation, and let it run for a while to assess drifts in all coupled components. Only after you are satisfied that everything is stable are you in a safe state to begin a science experiment production run. Off-the-shelf finidat file is not likely to save you much time in this process, because it will not be spun up to your experimental conditions and tolerances.","type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textColor","attrs":{"color":"#000000"}}]}]}]},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"9.
