[MITgcm-support] Problems with offline timing

[Ryan Abernathey]

Hi,

I recently updated my code to the latest version from CVS. I am now  
having a problem with loading offline fields. It looks for a field  
that doesn't exist. (The data files have not changed.)

  EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD,         0 : iP,iLd,i0,i1=  912    0  912     
1 ; Wght=  0.5000000000  0.5000000000
  EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, it=         0 : Reading new data, i0,i1=   
912    1 (prev=  912    0 )
  OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD,         0 : iP,iLd,i0,i1=  911    0  912    1 ;  
Wght=  0.5000000000  0.5000000000
  OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD, it=         0 : Reading new data, i0,i1=   
912    1 (prev=  911    0 )
(PID.TID 0000.0001)  MDS_READ_FIELD: filename: ../../aviso_0.1_degree- 
corrected/uvelCorr.0000000912.data
(PID.TID 0000.0001)  MDS_READ_FIELD: File does not exist

The data files are numbered uvelCorr.0000000000 -> uvelCorr.0000000911

This happens on the very first step, i.e. iter = 0.
It is looking for file 912. Maybe it is not computing the  
offlineForcingCycle correctly.

Everything used to work fine before I updated the code.

data.off #########################
  &OFFLINE_PARM01
   UvelFile= '../../aviso_0.1_degree-corrected/uvelCorr',
   VvelFile= '../../aviso_0.1_degree-corrected/vvelCorr',

  &OFFLINE_PARM02
   offlineIter0=0,
   deltaToffline=604800.,
   offlineForcingPeriod=604800.,
   offlineForcingCycle=551577600.,
  &

relevant part of data ################
  &PARM03
  nIter0 = 0,
  nTimeSteps = 138240,
  deltaTtracer= 900.0,
  deltaTClock = 900.0,
  pChkptFreq=124416000.,
  chkptFreq= 0.,
  dumpFreq=  0.,
  taveFreq=  0.,
  monitorFreq= 0.,
  periodicExternalForcing=.TRUE.,
  externForcingPeriod=604800.,
  externForcingCycle=551577600.,

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan
