Updates

FoRTE
- Progress on paper draft/outline, but plenty left to do.
- Almost complete, but very rough, draft of introduction. Might be too long? Also, possibly too heavy on modeling and too light on ecology?
- Methods are in much rougher shape. Would like to discuss overall organization and priorities (e.g. what, if any, content should be added or dropped/moved to supplement)
- Haven't touched results or discussion
- Moving forward, goal is to work on this in smaller increments, but much more regularly (ideally, daily)
- Model execution -- 1 of 8 combinations finished, but I accidentally killed the others. Restarted remaining 7 combinations, with much smaller ensemble sizes (20 members, instead of 100 to get results faster; I'll run more ensembles pre-publication). When the time comes, we may want to consider temporarily investing extra $$$ to do more runs in parallel (doubling our current allocation should be ~$150/month).
- Processing outputs -- Wrote code to do this as efficiently as possible, but it still takes a long time because of how ED's outputs are now structured (many small files). Goal is to have some of these results read Monday or Tuesday.
