"interpinic" is used to interpolate initial conditions from one resolution to another. In order to do the interpolation you must first run CLM to create a restart file to use as the "template" to interpolate into. Running from arbitrary initial conditions (i.e. finidat = ' ') for a single time-step is sufficient to do this. Make sure the model produces a restart file. You also need to make sure that you setup the same configuration that you want to run the model with, when you create the template file.
Command line options to interpinic:
| -i = Input filename to interpolate from |
| -o = Output interpolated file, and starting template file |
There is a sample template file in the models/lnd/clm/tools/interpinic directory and can be used to run interpolate to. However, this file was created with an older version of CLM and hence we actually recommend that you would do a short run with CLM to create a template file to use.

In the next example we build interpinic optimized with shared memory on for 64 threads so that it runs as fast as possible, to interpolate one of the standard 1-degree datasets to the above 10x15 template file that we created.

Tip: Running interpinic at high resolution can take a long time, so we recommend that you always build it optimized and with shared memory processing on, to cut down the run time as much as possible.
| Warning |
> interpinic does NOT work for CNDV (bgc=cndv). |
In Appendix B we give a simpler way to run interpinic for several standard resolutions at once, with a script to loop over several resolutions. This is useful for CLM developers who need to create many finidat files at once.
