AKv and AKt in initial condition file

#1 Unread post by rtoste »

Hi everyone,

I've just download the new code (svn 1077) and I've been failing to run a 4dvar application if it's not starting from a previous 4dvar output file.
It seems now AKv and AKt are needed in the initial condition file.
This is okay when using dai.nc or a time instant from the previous assimilation cycle but what should I do to run the first cycle?
I'm trying to use the first initial condition based on CMEMS analysis (it works for svn 1005)

A common initial condition file (same for a free run) returns this type of error:

Code: Select all

What I would do in your place is:
a) spinup your NLM mode to some physical state (i.e. 1 week and save all you need into history or restart file) and use that for your DA init
b) if you don't want to spinup then start from 0 - no mixing state, it will mix quite fast
