[cam-users] Problems with CAM 3.0

[hatcherk at onid.orst.edu]

Hi,

My name is Kyle Hatcher, and I am helping with research for the Atmospheric
Science Department at Oregon State University.  I am currently using the CAM
3.0 software, running on blackforest, and saving to the MSS.  I successfully
ran the model with an interval of 500 days, and it wrote to my path:
/HATCHERK/csm/camrun/...  This was only a test though for me to gain
familiarity with the system.  What I really wanted was to run it over a 10-year
span, and only record certain variables.  I modified the run-ibm.csh script to
handle this, and it appeared to be working.  It was supposed to run first in
initial mode, for 1-year, and then launch in restart mode for the other 9. 
Unfortunately, the restart run did not kick in.  I tried to run it in restart
manually, and it did not work at all.  From that point onward, I noticed that
the history files were no longer getting built as they had before.  During my
1-year run, I had accumulated a year's worth of data, in month long files. 
Afterwards, it was only doing 1 day's worth, if any.  I thought that the
pointer might have gotten confused, and so I tried changing my casename in the
script, but that didn't run at all.  I also tried clearing out my hist, rest,
and init directories on MSS, as well as the pointers, and rebuilding and
re-running in init mode as though it was my first time, and it still will not
write anything out.  If you could answer any or all of these questions, I would
truly appreciate it.  Thanks.

1.  What do I need to do in order to resume writing normally to the mss?

2.  How do I write to a different casename?

3.  What do I need to do to allow my script to pick up where it left off on its
own?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kyle.
