Continuing a run using NCAR's "branch" utility and the run_acme.csh script:

  1. Create a new case/build a new executable run to branch from using the "run_acme.csh" style script that Peter Caldwell and Philip Cameron-Smith (Unlicensed) created for this:
    1. git clone https://github.com/ACME-Climate/SimulationScripts.git,
    2. cd SimulationScripts/serving_as_a_template/recommended,
    3. modify run_acme.template.csh as needed
      1. replace "template" in name with better descriptor,
      2. copy file to non-git directory (if desired)
      3. change stuff in file as needed. I can't say what you will want to change since each simulation is different, but at least think about:
        1. change run_name
        2. Change run length/restart freq/output freq. By default the code you just downloaded runs 5 days with daily atm output, then stops without writing any restart files.
    4. execute run_acme...csh and make sure it completes without errors
  2. Modify your run_acme...csh script to do the following:
    1. change run_name to reflect the name you want to use for the continuation of the run.
    2. change model_start_type to "branch"
    3. change restart_files_dir to reflect the "run" directory containing the restart files you want to use to restart your run.
  3. execute run_acme...csh again.
