How to restart the run from intermediate month

run / config issues
1

I have been running the model for 2 years with interannual simulation using the script “run_croco_inter.bash”. Due to a problem of electricity the workstation shutdown. The run stopped at 6th month of the second year (2011).

My issue is how to continue the simulation from 07th month of the year 2011? Is the model read the restart file “croco_rst_Y2011M06.nc”.

Is the definition below correct (in the “run_croco_inter.bash”) ?

Start and End year

NY_START=2011 

NY_END=2011

Start and End month

NM_START=7 

NM_END=12

What is the meaning of the flags below? Is there any documentation about these two flags?

RSTFLAG=0
EXACT_RST=0`

Many thanks

Hi
I tried with

NY_START=2011 
NY_END=2011 
NM_START=7 
NM_END=12

After a compilation, the simulation continued from 07th month; 2011 all things are ok … However, I see a message in the terminal after the execution!

The same request, concerning the flags above :

RSTFLAG=0
EXACT_RST=0`

Many thanks

Hi,
When I set

RSTFLAG = 1

The model look for the file

croco_rst_Y2011M06.nc

it seems ok, however I do not understand the meaning of

EXACT_RST

Can someone give an explanation?
Many thanks
