Output Files

 

All output is written to the directory proc/outdir specified in the run script. The model can generates two output files in either netCDF format or sequentially unformatted binaries. The latter is the default. NetCDF output can be requested by defining the preprocessor macro NETCDFOUT in the run script or the makefile (See Section 2.3.3.

qm_name.ext

Average values of all the prognostic variables and major diagnostic variables, where name is replaced by the valuer of the input string runname or build from the current date and time if runname is not specified. The file extension .ext is ``.out'' for Fortran sequential binary output and ``.nc'' for output in netCDF format. The data are output every ntouti days after skipping the initial noout days.

qi_name.ext

Same as above for instantaneous values.

qtcm_YYYYMMDD.restart

QTCM restart file at end of model date YYYY,MM, verb|DD|, where YYYY, MM and DD are model year, month and day, respectively. The restart file is written every ntoutr days after skipping the initial nooutr days. For ntout, ntouti and ntoutr the special values of -30 and 0 indicates monthly and no output, respectively.
