From user:
I have run CESM for 6 months without writing out history files to speed up the wall time. Now, for July, I would like to start writing history files.I edited user_nl_cam to reflect this (using a user_nl_cam file which had worked previously), did a rebuild, and ran for one more month. All indications show that the model did run until 07-30 (restart files, etc). However, the history files I had specified in user_nl_cam were not there. In an online search, I found that the method I executed is valid for POP and CICE, however, for CCSM4.0, one needs to do a branch run in order to change history file frequency. Is this still true for CAM5? Thank you ahead for your attention to my question. Best regards,
