[MITgcm-support] Restarting the MITgcm

[Uli Riemenschneider]

Hello again,

I have started taking the MIT model through some longer runs and have 
tried to restart them to safe time, but so far unsuccessfully.

The runs produce two types of pickup files: pickup.ckptA.data and 
pickup.chptB.data. I figured out that the 'A' file is a collection of 
the data after the final time step and I am assuming the 'B' file is 
from some time step before that.

I have tried renaming pickup.ckptA.data to pickup.000004800 and set 
nIter0 to 4800 to start the model at this point, but it aborts almost 
immediately.

What do I need to do to get it going successfully?!
Thanks,
Uli
