[MITgcm-support] Re: Restart after changing deltatT

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Samar,

If I understand correctly, you are starting from t=5000.y
(nIter0=3600000, deltaT=1200, basetime=151200000000
 => startTime=155520000000 = 5000.y) and you set the 
pChkptFreq to 15.y ;
the 1rst multiple of 15.y after t=5000.y is t=5010.y,
and it's what you get. Is it right ?

If you want to check what are the values of those params,
they are written out in the standard output.
