The post-processing script will generate the archiving and plotting scripts as it runs.  The setup script that you ran also creates an experiment home directory (''HOMEDIR'') as <code>~''USERID''/geos5/''EXPID''</code>  containing the run scripts and GEOS resource (<code>.rc</code>) files.  (You can also specify the experiment home directory to be the same as the experiment directory.)

The run scripts need some environment variables set in <code>~/.cshrc</code> (regardless of which login shell you use -- the GEOS-5 scripts use <code>csh</code>).  Here are the minimum contents of a <code>.cshrc</code>:

The <code>umask 022</code> is not strictly necessary, but it will make the various files readable to others, which will facilitate data sharing and user support.  Your home directory <code>~''USERID''</code> is also inaccessible to others by default; running <code>chmod 755 ~</code> is helpful.

Copy the restart (initial condition) files and associated <code>cap_restart</code> into ''EXPDIR''.  Keep the "originals" handy since if the job stumbles early in the run it might stop after having renamed them.  The model expects restart filenames to end in "rst" but produces them with the date and time appended, so you may have to rename them back to ending in "rst".  The <code>cap_restart</code> file is often provided with a set of restarts, but if not you can create it: is simply one line of text with the date of the restart files in the format ''<code>YYYYMMDD HHMMSS</code>'' (with a space).  The boundary conditions/forcings are provided by symbolic links created by the run script.
