Hi there. Very new to this - started yesterday and have done as much reading as I can since getting the program up and running.
I have a couple of questions if anyone can help...
1. I have seen quite a bit of info about slab models, sulpher cycles etc. How can I tell which one I am processing?
2. On the website it seems to indicate that the system should \"trickle\" a message back to the site after 10,802 timesteps. I have processed 18,385 timesteps but can see no indication of any messages being sent. Is this normal?
Hope someone can enlighten me!
Thanks

This information is accessable from your Account page.
Click results.
Then click \'Work unit ID\' for the model in question.

There aren\'t any more slabs, so the current models will be either sulphur, or the new TCM.
10,802 timesteps was for slab.
I forget the timesteps for sulphur.

When your conmputer trickles, you will get theses messages:

Sending scheduler request to http://climateapps1.oucs.ox.ac.uk/hadcm3spinup_cgi/cgi
Reason: To send trickle-up message
Note: not requesting new work or reporting results
Scheduler request to http://climateapps1.oucs.ox.ac.uk/hadcm3spinup_cgi/cgi succeeded

(I\'ve removed the date/time to make the lines more compact.)

Also note that this is for a spinup model, a special one-off project.

Thanks Les.
Apparently I am running a transient coupled model which looks like it is going to take some while!
I think this reports back every 10 years so I will wait & see.
Again, thanks for the enlightenment!

From a post by Carl on the Message Boards about the TCMs:

The upload of the experiment is: every 10 model-years there is an upload of about 4MB of data; every model-year there is a small \"trickle\" upload of about 60KB of data (the summary/means for the graphs on the website etc).

Trickles for the sulpher models is the same as for the slab. i.e every 10,802 timesteps
