+=== Alternative to changing the years ===
+Rather than changing the years in '''.../libIGCM/libIGCM_config/libIGCM_config.tsh''', and several of the DRIVER and COMP files it is also possible to adjust the data files and more specificaly all the *.txt files as those contain only one value per year. The files SOLARANDVOLCANOES_1610_2008.txt, CO2_1765_2005.txt, CH4_1765_2005.txt, N2O_1765_2005.txt, CFC11_1765_2005.txt, and CFC12_1765_2005.txt are all write protected so you have to copy them before you can change the content. For an equilibrium experiment it could be wise to set the same value for all the years in the experiment. This way, equilibrium will be reached faster. If you use this approach remember to change the paths in COMP/lmdz.card such that it uses your copied and adjusted files.
