For seasonal start-up files, and control runs, the definition of “Solar Minimum” and “Solar Maximum” conditions are as follows:
Solar Minimum Conditions:
POWER = 18.
CTPOTEN = 30.
F107 = 70.
F107A = 70.
Solar Maximum Conditions:
POWER = 39.
CTPOTEN = 60.
F107 = 200.
F107A = 200.
Single-history start-up files for the four seasons are in the data download file, which is available from the tgcm download page These files can be used as SOURCE files in the namelist input for initial runs:

control: 5-day control runs, started from the above steady-state histories at both equinoxes and solstices, and at solar minimum and maximum conditions.
