[MITgcm-support] [EXTERNAL] How to start from given initial conditions without restarting the simulation

[Shevchenko, Igor]

Hi Jody,

I have probed it a bit deeper. It seems changing baseTime eventually asks for pickup files.
Perhaps, it's possible to tweak pickup files so that they correspond to the initial condition one needs.

Best regards,
Igor

Hi Igor,

That would be my guess, but I’ve not checked either by running or tracing the code.

Cheers,   Jody
