Subject: the difference between the branch run and the run using only the initial conditions

Dear all hands,
I would like to clarify one of my questions now. I have spinned up CCM3.10 for
over 5 years to make the model equilibrated with the force of climatological
SST. Then I only used the initial conditions at the last month(without the
restart files) to start our experiments with the observation SST provided
together with CCM3.10 codes. Is this right? Should I use a branch run or this
one? If I should use a branch run with both the initial conditions and the
restart files got from the spin-up run at the last month, it seems that I should
modify the dates(the times) in the SST file. Could some one tell me what's the
difference between the branch run and the run using only the initial conditions?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Best regards,
Qiaozhen
