[MITgcm-support] EXF package: useExfYearlyFields=.FALSE.

[Madeline Miller]

Dear List,

I am trying to use the EXF package with the parameter
useExfYearlyFields=.FALSE.

When I set this in my data.exf file and specify the file paths to use, the
code crashes with the error that my file (s) do not exist.

However, if I specify a repeatPeriod > 0, the code seems to run, albeit
without printing which files it is reading for the forcing data to the
STDOUT (different than when I specifiy useExfYearlyFields=.TRUE.).  It has
been independently confirmed that I am specifying the file locations
correctly, so it would seem that there is some specification that
repeatPeriod can not = 0 with useExfYearlyFields=.FALSE.

I can't find the instance in the code which explains why this is happening,
and I would like to run it without a repeatPeriod and have it print the
read-in file to my STDOUT.


Does anyone have any advice or experience with this sort of configuration?


Best,

Madeline
