[MITgcm-support] Climtological run

[anuradha.modi at iccsir.org]

Dear Users,

I am new to the Ocean modelling.
Recently I successfully installed the MIT-OGCM model on my workstation ( Interl core-2 Quad, Redhat Linux).
After that I run the model for 100 years using climatological data, by changing the data file as follows
# Time stepping parameters
 &PARM03
 startTime = 0.,
 endtime = 3110400000.,
 deltaTmom = 1800.,
 deltaTtracer = 10800.,
 deltaTClock = 10800.,
 tauCD = 36000.,
 abEps = 0.1,
#cAdjFreq = -1,
 cAdjFreq = 0,
 pChkptFreq = 311040000.,
 chkptFreq = 311040000., 
 dumpFreq = 2592000.,
 taveFreq =2592000.,
 dumpMean =2592000.,
 tauThetaClimRelax = 864000.,
#tauThetaClimRelax = ,
 tauSaltClimRelax = 2592000.,
 monitorFreq = 10.,
 periodicExternalForcing= .TRUE.,
 externForcingPeriod = 2592000.,
 externForcingCycle = 3110400

And written the output for every one month, It took almost 6 days for running. 
After that I plotted the variables like Temperature, Salinity Timeseries and I feel that model is not stable yet (Timeseries Figure attached)

So, Now I gave a 300year run by changing 
startTime = 0.,
endtime = 9331200000.,

How to decide that the model become stable or not? ( By seeing the Timeseries figure whether we can decide model is stable or not?)

Please help me.......
