[MITgcm-support] model and ptracer starts at different times

[David Munday]

Hi Suneet,

In data.ptracers you can set PTRACERS_Iter0 to specify the timestep at which the tracers should be initialised. If you make this larger than nIter0, in data, you can delay the start of your tracer experiment relative to the physics only part.

Best wishes,

Dave

In my case, I wish to run an assimilation experiment from 1 March onwards where passive tracer data is available only after 10 March whereas other dataset are available from 1 March. I wish to run the experiment in such a way so that model starts to integrate from 1 March whereas passive tracer package from 10 March onwards. How can I do this with MITgcm? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
