[MITgcm-support] output frequencies NOT consistent

[Paola Cessi]

I shoudl rephrase my problem more clearly:

In the example below, where niter0=400000 and all the dump, monitor, 
timeave and pickup frequencies are 250000, the pickup files and the 
timeaverages files are outputed at 500000 instead of 650000. In other 
words I get pickup.0000500000.* and Ttave.0000500000.* instead of 
pickup.0000650000.* and Ttave.0000650000.*. 
The time-stamp on the files is consistent with an output well before the 
end of the calculation.

However, the pickup.chkptA.* and the instantaneous fields (i.e. 
T.0000650000.*) come out at time 6500000 (as they should).

Why?
