Ensemble, GC2

[wx019276]

Hi,

Hopefully this is just a quick and straightforward question.

I want to run an ensemble of coupled runs (GC2 job vn 8.4) with 30 different atmospheric start dumps - but the same ocean and ice initial conditions. Additionally I want to set ~3 off at at time. I will do this once for a control and once for a perturbation run 60 jobs in total, each job takes about 14 hrs to complete.

I know there is an ensemble button on the umui - though from the grapevine I have heard it doesn't work/hard to use/no longer supported.

My question is really is it just easier to just manually set three jobs running each day or is there a simple way of setting up an ensemble to do this?

Thanks,
Ruth
