Hello Everyone

This is Suman Maity from IIT Kahragapur, India. I am using regcm for last 3-4 years. I have the following query. Any kind of solution/suggestion/comment is highly accepted.

What is spin up time of regcm4 for seasonal simulation (viz. Indian Summer Monsoon which is a 5 months event)? I have seen in many literature that for multiyear simulation, one year spin up time is taken. Is there any standard rule/criteria for finding spin up? I am using one month spin up time for five month simulation period. How to check whether this is sufficient or not?

I am expecting quick reply.

Thanking you,

With Best Regards
'S Maity'
