'''Do ''not'' copy old experiments, run <code>gcm_setup</code> instead.''' There are numerous instances where an experiment-specific directory is used in the run scripts and they will wreak subtle and pervasive havoc if executed in an unexpected environment. This warning is especially true between model versions. A useful and relatively safe exception to this rule is to copy previously used examples of <code>HISTORY.rc</code>. However, you need to change the lines labeled <code>EXPID</code> and <code>EXPDSC</code> to the values in your automatically-generated <code>HISTORY.rc</code> or the plotting will fail. | ||
