Missing Restart and History Files in Archive Directory

Dear all,


I ran CESM using the nhours setting for a total of 360 hours. CESM automatically archived the files to the archive directory, but I noticed that the rest/ folder does not contain any restart files. Additionally, the ocn/glc/ice subdirectories do not have history files.


I mainly need restart files at different time steps, but I am unable to find them. Could anyone help me understand what might have caused this issue? Do I need to rerun the simulation to obtain the restart files?


I would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help!

I also found that only the restart files for the first and last time steps were stored.

The first thought that comes to my mind:
It may solve your problem to set
DOUT_S_SAVE_INTERIM_RESTART_FILES = TRUE
in your case's env_run.xml file.

Any other ideas out there?

Hi, There is an xml variable called "DOUT_S_SAVE_INTERIM_RESTART_FILES" that is set to False by default. This tells the model not to archive the restart files besides the last ones to save space on your machine. If you want the restart files along the way to be archived, set this variable to true with:
> ./xmlchange DOUT_S_SAVE_INTERIM_RESTART_FILES=TRUE

In your case directory.
