Specify the assimilation start and end times
Variational analysisPrepIFS remembers (but hides from the user) INITIME, the original first cycle for anexperiment, and FINALTIME, its final cycle. An experiment may be rerun any number of times, startingfrom any time between INITIME and (FINALTIME + VariationalAnalysis/PERIOD_4D)as long as the cycle before the first cycle has been successfully archived, or the first cycle is INITIME. But unless the checks are deliberately overridden by the use of switch LRESETDATES, it is not possible torestart an experiment before INITIME.Another experiment can start from this experiment's data as long as its FIRSTCYCLE lies between INITIMEand FINALTIME.STRINGFILEFORMATDatesFILEFORMAT any depend Specify the assimilation start and end timesconfig.hShellFormattruefalsefalseDATEINITIME2999123118INITIME any depend truefalseDATEFIRSTCYCLE2999123118Date, in the form yyyymmddhh, of the first cycle of the current run
