[MITgcm-support] Multiple outputfiles

[Ada Gjermundsen]

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the output files from MITgcm. I'm using the mnc
package to get netcdf output. Everything works out fine, but every now and
then I get multiple output files (or 3 to be exact) for every output
timestep (see example for the pickupfiles at the end of this email). Two of
the files have numerical instabilties in the w field, while every third
output file seems to be fine. Can someone explain why this is happening and
if I can do something to prevent this?

Thanks in advance!

Ada
