[MITgcm-support] mnc questions

[Michael Schaferkotter (Contractor)]

hey ed:

i read the beta docs (i had used a data.mnc with all default values in my first run. that/s what prompted
the initial question) and adjusted the value of mnc_max_fsize to what i thought was an appropriate value.

the files produced were exactly the same size though.

i don/t see why the files are the same size and i don/t see why state.0000.000001.nc is over 289MB.
i didn/t recompile.

so what am i missing?

each 3d output field in this test domain is about 2.2MB.
