Stage initial conditions for cycled and forecast-only via stage_ic job. #2475

Open aerorahul opened 2 months ago

aerorahul commented 2 months ago

What new functionality do you need?

Presently, the cycled initial conditions are staged by setup_expt.py. The initial conditions for forecast-only are staged by a job stage_ic.

This feature requests development of the stage_ic job to stage cycled initial conditions in addition to the ones for forecast-only.

What are the requirements for the new functionality?

The new stage_ic job should be able to handle both cycled and forecast-only modes as well as for gfs and gefs systems.
Extra points for making the job generic to allow users to provide (files) initial conditions of their choosing from arbitrary locations and structure.

Acceptance Criteria

Add the stage_ic job to the first half-cycle of the cycled mode.
