Line 177:

Restart files provide the initial conditions for a run, and a set needs to be copied into a fresh experiment directory before running. This includes the file <code>cap_restart</code>, which provides the model starting date and time in text. Restart files themselves are resolution-specific and sometimes change between model versions. As of the current model version, they are flat binary files with no metadata, so they tend to be stored together with restarts of the same provinance with the date either embedded in the filename or in an accompanying <code>cap_restart</code>, typically under a directory indicating the model version.

A cleanly completed model run will leave a set of restarts and the corresponding <code>cap_restart</code> in its experiment directory. Another source is <code>/archive/u/aeichman/restarts</code>. Restarts are also left during runs in date-labeled tarballs in the <code>restarts</code> directory under the experiment directory. You may have to create the <code>cap_restart</code>, which is simply one line of text with the date of the restart files in the format ''YYYYMMDD HHMMSS'' (with a space).

Restarts are also left during runs in date-labeled tarballs in the <code>restarts</code> directory under the experiment directory before being transferred to the user's <code>/archive</code> space. You may have to create the <code>cap_restart</code>, which is simply one line of text with the date of the restart files in the format ''YYYYMMDD HHMMSS'' (with a space).

Failing the above sources, you can convert restarts from different resolutions and model versions, including MERRA, as described in [[Regridding Restarts for Fortuna 2.4]].
