Hi Doroteaciro,

Use of the pickups is determined by the following conditions within the
model/src/ini_fields.F file which is represented in a shortened (pseudo-
code) form here as:

C--   Set model variables to initial/restart conditions
      IF ( startTime .EQ. 0. .AND.  nIter0 .EQ. 0
     &     .AND. pickupSuff .EQ. ' ' ) THEN
C       ...DO NOT READ PICKUP...
      ELSE
C       ...READ PICKUP...
      ENDIF

And an example of one of our verification tests that starts by reading a
pickup is "global_ocean.cs32x15":

Hope that helps!

Ed
