The diagnostic files



When diagnos=1 and strip_phy=1 in your 'configexp.dot.cfg', you will get the following files in ${arch_mach}:${archdir} for each model interval:

  diag_results_${exp}.ca
  gemdm_${exp}_md.ca

 Diagnostics: means, variances, time series for one month or interval
12 hourly 2-D fields for one month or interval
12 hourly 3-D fields for one month or interval
Restarts, saved EXECDIR for each interval
Contains all jobs that were created by the scripts for each interval
Contains all listings for each interval


diag_results_${exp}.ca

This archive holds the following files resulting from the diagnostics that were performed over month or one 'interval' (depending on the parameter 'climat_1diagpermonth' in 'configexp.dot.cfg', by default for one month).
