Table 5 The list of files in a “restart set”, their filetypes, and example file names (CASENAME = f.e21.FHIST_BGC.f09_025.CAM6assim.011). The history files are not required for an exact restart of the model, but are archived with the restart files to maintain continuity of optional time series of (time averaged) fields requested from the case. The relationship between history and restart history files is described in CESM Post Processing Data. The DART inflation restart history files are not used during CESM’s restart process, but are used by the assimilation. They are also archived more frequently with the other DART output as described in “Ensemble mean and spread files”.
