MARS hindcast (option –step)

• For MARS hindcast, option –step allows to make runs by blocks. You must specify the number of days for each block.

• To make MARS hindcast from 01/01/2013 to 01/01/2014, with block every 30 days:

launch_mangae config_mangae.cfg -s 2013-01-01,00:00 -e 2014-01-01,00:00 --step 30

• To follow if the run is OK

  • check if sections are OK in f1-mangae.xml

  • in case of problem, check the log files ./logs/MANGAE2500-r1630/20140101_20140105/*.log

• Output files: MARS results in ./res, there is one directory for each step.
