[MITgcm-support] diagnostics - question

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Martin,

I am not sure those are the right parameters to set:

to get 10.d averages, I would just set the normal "frequency" to 10.d:
 frequency(3)=864000.,
and to start to write after 99 years, you can set timePhase to 99.years
> # this is 99 year (a 360 days)
 timePhase(3)= 3079296000.,
Note that the 1rst reccord / output file corresponding to 
iter/time = 99.y will contain the average over the 99 years,
but the 2nd (at iter/time = 99.y+10d) will be a 10.d average.

repeatCycle, averagingFreq and averagingPhase would be usefull
to get a mean seanonal cycle over the full 100.years integration 
with 10.d time resolution (repeatCycle=36, averagingFreq=864000.).

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

In my case I'd like to have a 100y run, and I would like to save 10day averages of the final year. Unfortunately I forgot how to do that (=lost my example data.diagnostics). Here is, what I think it should look like:
