[MITgcm-support] serveral questions...

[David Wang]

Hello all,

i've got a couple of questions to ask:

1. the diagnostics quantity Tendency of Potential Temperature is denoted 
as 'TOTTEND ' in diagnostics_main_init.F and as 'TOTTTEND' in 
diagnostics_fill_state.F. one of them is a typo?

2. i'm not quite sure how the newly implemented regional statistics 
diagnostics works. the example namelist 
./verification/aim.5l_cs/input.thSI/data.diagnostics isn't very clear to 
me. for instance, if i want to trace the evolution of the surface layer 
temperature averaged over the nino3 region, how?

3. to restart the model w/ a different time step: the original run ended 
with a permanent pickup (say, pickup.0000001440.*.data). and i restarted 
the model w/ a doubled deltaT but the model told me it was looking for 
pickup.0000000720.*.data. btw i used the startTime/endTime pair in data.

thanks a lot,
- D.W.
