annual history files

[nadinsel@uchicago_edu]

Hi,I am trying to run long-term simulations with either annual or 10-year averaged history output files. I added avgflag_pertape = 'A'
mfilt = 12
nhtfrq = -8760to &cam_inparm, but the output files I get now are instantaneous files like 'filename.cam2.i.0002-01-01.nc'. Is there anything hardwired in the code that gives me instantenous annual files. How to change the output to (multiple) annually averaged files?ThanksNadja

The file 'filename.cam2.i.0002-01-01.nc' is an initial condition file. Initial condition dataset "*.i.*" are periodically written. It conatins initial values of the prognostic variables  that are necessary to initialized the model. nhtfrq and avgflag_pertape dones't have any control on this file.
The history is in the form:*.h0.* (and depending on the namelist variables setting of extra history files *.h1.*, *.h2.* ...). This file is controlled by nhtfrq and avgflag_pertape. It should be time-average in your case.Cecile
