The initial condition file (sometimes called analysis file) is a file which must contain certain atmospheric and surface fields which the model will use to initialize the run. Therefore, the fields must cover the model grid region and the date must be the starting date of the run. But the resolution and grid orientation can be different that the one of the model grid.
Atmospheric fields
The atmospheric fields can be on model or pressure levels. Ideally, they should be on the same model levels than the model. These are the same fields that are in the pilot files for LAM simulations. Therefore, if possible, for LAM simulations they should be from the same dataset as the lateral boundary conditions data.
These are the minimum fields needed to initialize a simulation depending on the level type:
Fields on pressure levels:
- temperature (TT)
- horizontal winds (UU,VV)
- humidity (relative or specific) (HR or HU)
- geopotential (GZ)
- if available, amount of liquid and solid water in the atmosphere:
- if P3 is used: [MPNC,MPQC,MPQR,MPNR,QTI1,QMI1,NTI1,BMI1]
- otherwise: [QC]
Fields on model levels:
- temperature (TT)
- horizontal winds (UU,VV)
- humidity (relative or specific) (HR or HU)
- surface geopotential (GZ)
- surface pressure (P0)
- if available, amount of liquid and solid water in the atmosphere:
- if P3 is used: [MPNC,MPQC,MPQR,MPNR,QTI1,QMI1,NTI1,BMI1]
- otherwise: [QC]
Surface fields
Water/ocean:
TM : sea surface temperature
LG : sea ice fraction (called 'GL' in model output!)
These are the same fields as the lower boundary conditions set in 'GEM_anclima' and should therefore be from the same dataset.
Soil (land):
ISBA:
I0 : surface and soil temperatures (2 levels)
I1 : soil volumetric water contents (2 levels)
I2 : soil volumetric ice contents (1 level)
I3 : water retained on the vegetation
I4 : water in the snow pack
I6 : albedo of snow
I7 : sea ice temperature
I8 : sea ice thickness
I9 : glaciers temperature
SD : snow depth
DN : snow density in kg/m3
CLASS:
same as for ISBA but:
I0 : surface and soil temperatures (n levels)
I1 : soil volumetric water contents (n levels)
I2 : soil volumetric ice contents (n level)
plus the following fields:

SK : snow stored on canopy
R2 : temperature at the base of soil water column
Q4 : temperature of water lying on the surface
M9 : height of water lying on the surface
TN : ground snow temperature
TE : canopy temperature
GR : canopy growth factor
