<div dir="ltr">Hello All
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the setup Im working with, it matters to me whether at a given time, ckptA or ckptB is the suffix used for a pickup write! There is a variable nCheckLev in a common block in RESTART.h which seems to determine this behaviour.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From grepping for ths variable, it seems to me that when we start from a pickup, this variable is reset. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thus, if ckptFreq is set to e.g. 10000., and i do a run that is 10,000 seconds long, then pickup.ckptA.* will be written at the end of the run, assuming deltaT divides into 10,000. If the run were 20,000 seconds or more, then pickup.ckptB.* would be written
at 20,000 seconds -- here im just describing rolling pickups.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BUT, assuming nCheckLev is reset each time the model is (re)started, then if I were to then restart the model from the pickup.ckptA.* written at 10,000 seconds, then pickup.ckptA.* would be OVERWRITTEN at 20,000 seconds. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wonder if someone could comment on whether this is correct?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks</div>
