[cam-users] output location

[Brian Eaton]

Cathy,

The answer to your question is no.  But note, the output files are written
to the current directory which is not necessarily the same as the location
of the cam executable.  

Long production runs often generate more data than can fit into the
available local workspace.  Unfortunately the functionality of CAM for
moving files to a remote location is specific to the NCAR environment
(that's what the archive_dir namelist is for).  We plan to fix this, but
have not yet done so.  Subroutine putfil (in control/ioFileMod.F90) is
where the command is issued to archive files to remote storage.  You could
possibly modify this file to work in your local environment.  A better
option which doesn't involve code modification in CAM is to write your own
script with the name "mswrite" and have it take appropriate action.
