Basic questin about cesm2.1.3

[JaeSeung-Yoon]

Hi all,
I am doing CESM2.1.3 for the first time.
I have what must be a very basic question about the CESM2.1.3

1. ./create_newcase --case /home/jsyoon/MODEL/CESM/cesm2.1.3/cases/Atest.f19_g17_rx1 --compset A --res f19_g17_rx1 --machine hanul
2. ./xmchange STOP_OPTION=nyears,STOP_N=5,RESUBMIT=19,RUN_TYPE=startup,CONTINUE_RUN=FALSE
I received a message from "CaseStatus" saying "st_archive success"
As a result, I confirmed that *.bin and *.nc files were created in the "./run" directory. Is this a normal result?
If so, how do I change files *.bin to *.nc or *.grib?

Thank you in advance.

What files are binary? What are you using for your PIO settings in the driver?

Really appreciate your prompt response. I was thinking about this some more yesterday and thought the reason it continued from 0265-03 even with continue_run=.false is step #3, where I ran ./case.build. I think because I rebuilt the case, cesm probably treated the 0265-03 restart file as the beginning of the branch run, even though the branch began two months earlier at 0265-01. If 0265-03 is treated as the beginning of the branch run, then continue_run=.false. is the proper setting and there are no errors.

The run that started at 0265-03 ran for a month and I started another run, now ongoing, from 0265-04 (without any new ./case.build) but this time I used continue_run=.true.. It is quite likely (I think) that if I had left continue_run=.false., the continuation run from 0265-04 would have thrown an error.

Does this explanation make sense?
