Conversion period in netCDF files does not equal model resubmission period #8

Open jonseddon opened 3 years ago

The pt file (from which the netCDF conversion runs) - I think the conversion happens on the frequency of this file renewal (currently 1 month), but this could be different from the model resubmission period, and then it becomes difficult to tie together the model timestep and the data. It would be better if the pt file has the same renewal as the resubmit period, but I don't know how to automate that.

At the moment the tracking runs at the same resubmission period as the model. Using Cylc it should be quite easy to change the cycling so that the tracking runs monthly (or another period) after the postproc has run. This could have the disadvantage of data sitting around on disk on the HPC for a little longer.

This could also change when inline mip_convert is available if this is chosen for the tracking input data rather than postproc.
