[MITgcm-devel] turnoff_model_io ?

[Patrick Heimbach]

Hi Jean-Michel,

good suggestions.
I had turned this off in ecco_cost_final, but indeed not in  
cost_final (which is a better place).
Rationale for doing it, is that
we want to have the I/O once, during 1st forward sweep,
but not thereafter (during recomputations).

Fine with me to have a "driver turnoff routine".

Thanks for looking into this!
U not running the Boston marathon today?

-p.
