<!-- [NOT RELEVANT??] If you want to create starts files with tracers for 50 layers using a start archive.nc obtained for 32 layers, do not forget to use the ini_q option in newstart in order to correctly initialize tracers value for layer 33 to layer 50. You just have to answer yes to the question on thermosphere initialization if you want to initialize the thermosphere part only (l=33 to l=50), and no if you want to initialize tracers for all layers (l=0 to l=50). -->

How to Change Vertical and Horizontal Resolutions

To run at a different grid resolution than available initial conditions files, one needs to use the tools newstart.e and start2archive.e

For example, to create initial states at grid resolution 32×24×25 from NetCDF files start and startfi at grid resolution 64×48×32 :

  • Create file start_archive.nc with start2archive.e compiled at grid resolution 64×48×32 using old file z2sig.def used previously
  • Create files restart.nc and restartfi.nc with newstart.e compiled at grid resolution 32×24×25, using a new file z2sig.def (more details below on the choice of the z2sig.def)
