Restart Control Parameters and Settings

FV3 CMEPS MOM6 CICE6 WW3
restart control: creating a restart during model run model_configure: restart_interval. Give the value in hours. Set 0 to write a restart only at the end. nems.configure: restart_n and restart_option. For example, use restart_n = 48 and restart_option = nhours to write a restart every 48 hours nems.configure: restart_n and restart_option nems.configure: restart_n and restart_option ww3_multi.inp: the checkpoint restart line needs to be updated with desired frequency of restart, time to start restarts and time to end restarts.
restart filenames checkpoint restarts are named timestamp.filename.nc. Final restarts are named filename.nc ufs.cpld.cpl.r.timestamp.nc checkpoint restarts are named MOM.res.timestampX.nc, where X=(none,_1,_2 etc) depending on file size. Final restarts are named MOM.resX.nc iced_timestamp.nc ${YYYYMMDD}.${HH}0000.restart.${ww3grid} where YYYYMMDD is the year month and day and HH is the hour of the valid time of the restart and ww3grid is the WW3 grid extension
restart write location RESTART RESTART. Controlled in nems.configure using case_name = ./RESTART/ufs.cpld RESTART. Controlled in MOM_input_nml (located in input.nml) using restart_output_dir = 'RESTART/' RESTART. Controlled in ice_in, using restart_dir = ./RESTART main run directory
input location for restart runs INPUT INPUT. Use rpointer.cpl in run directory to specify filename and location INPUT. Use restart_input_dir in MOM_input_nml (located in input.nml) to specify location INPUT. Use ice.restart_file in run directory to specify filename and location The ${YYYYMMDD}.${HH}0000.restart.${ww3grid} needs to be renamed to restart.${ww3grid} and it is read from the main run directory
input files for restart runs 
coupler.res
fv_core.res.nc 
fv_core.res.tile[1-6].nc 
fv_srf_wnd.res.tile[1-6].nc 
fv_tracer.res.tile[1-6].nc 
phy_data.tile[1-6].nc 
sfc_data.tile[1-6].nc 
ufs.cpld.cpl.r.timestamp.nc
rpointer.cpl

where timestamp is the time of the restart. The file name and path is stored in rpointer.cpl for use when restarting the model.

 
MOM.res_1.nc
MOM.res_2.nc
MOM.res_3.nc
MOM.res.nc

Note the actual number of files depends on MOM6 resolution. For 1 deg and 1/2 deg, there is a single MOM.res.nc restart file. For 1/4 deg, there are 4 MOM.res().nc files.

 
iced.timestamp.nc
ice.restart_file

where timestamp is the time of the restart. The file name and path is stored in ice.restart_file for use when restarting the model.

 
restart.${ww3grid}
restart trigger

Set fhrot as described below and set input.nml parameters:

warm_start =.T. 
make_nh =.F.
na_init = 0
external_ic = F
nggps_ic = F
mountain = .T.
Set start_type = continue in nems.configure Set input_filename ='r' in MOM_input_nml (located in input.nml). MOM6 will expect a restart file with root name MOM.res in INPUT Set runtype ='continue' and use_restart_time =.true. in ice_in If restart file is in run directory, it will be used. Otherwise WW3 will cold start.
