[MITgcm-support] Surface waves relaxation without viscosity terms

[quentin jamet]

Dear MITgcm developpers and users,

I have a problem using the diagnistic options repeatCycle and averagingFreq.
When runing with this configuration for 4 years, variables within the output
files DiagOcnEta.*.nc contains the good dimensions, i.e. 48 = 12*4. I
expect to get one average output each month during my 4 year simulation, but
by looking at the *.nc file, the number of iteration at which diagnostics
are made correpond to 1 diagnostics each year, and 1 diagnostic at the 12
previous iterations, but not 1 diagnostic each month.
I did some test but I did not find out the answer. Did anyone have asolution to
fix my problem?

Many thanks

Quentin

PS : I copy a part of the file data.diagnostics below :

  frequency(1) = 31104000.,
  frequency(1) = 1555200000.,
# frequency(1) = 2592000.,
   filename(1) = 'DiagOcnEta',
   fields(1,1) = 'ETAN    ',
 averagingFreq(1) = 2592000.,
   repeatCycle(1) = 12,

  frequency(2) = 31104000.,
  frequency(2) = 1555200000.,
# frequency(2) = 2592000.,
   filename(2) = 'DiagOcnTave',
   fields(1,2) = 'THETA   ','SALT    ','PHIHYD  ','CONVADJ ',
#                'UVELSQ  ','VVELSQ  ','UV_VEL_C','THETASQ ',
#                'WVELTH  ','WVELSLT ',
 averagingFreq(2) = 2592000.,
   repeatCycle(2) = 12,
