[MITgcm-support] netcdf pickup

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

I am trying to pickup from netcdf files on 12 CPUs, so I copy all 
pickup files into my working directory (and RENAME them from 
pickup.iterationnumber.0000.processorid.nc to 
pickup.iterationnumber.processorid.nc, why is this necessary?) and 
start from there, but I get the following error message:
> (PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR *** MNC ERROR: dimension 'Zp1' does not 
> exist for
> file 'pickup.0000072000.000001.nc'
That's clearly true:
> model::test> ncdump -h pickup.0000072000.000001.nc | head
> netcdf pickup.0000072000.0000.000001 {
> dimensions:
>         T = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
>         Xp1 = 31 ;
>         Y = 40 ;
>         Z = 23 ;
>         X = 30 ;
>         Yp1 = 41 ;
> variables:
>         int iter(T) ;

my data.mnc looks like this:
>  &MNC_01
>  mnc_use_outdir=.TRUE.,
>  mnc_outdir_str='mnc_',
>  snapshot_mnc=.true.,
>  timeave_mnc=.true.,
>  pickup_write_mnc=.TRUE.,
>  pickup_read_mnc=.TRUE.,
>  &

I am using checkpoint57 for this experiment. I am NOT using the 
diagnostics package. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
