Experimental setup
Overview
Two suites are used: a control (au-aa427) and a trial run without IASI observations (au-aa???). Both suites are based on APS2 ACCESS-G Rose suite, au-aa068 at r1316.
- PFM resolutions: N108/N216

Used the latest version, v408. Some of the changes are,
MTSATClear_stlist.nl - since the names, 'DayStart?' and 'DayEnd?' are not valid in OPS30.0.0 I commented out the lines; Q. What would be the effect????

Preparing Bufr files
Bufr files copied: 20150718 00Z till 20151031 18Z
Archiving
- Model forecast files are archived to ????
- SatRad writefiles are archived to ????
Luke-warm start
- start dump (iau-start-dump) from 20150717 12Z
- analysis increment (an_inc) from 20150717 18Z
- soil moisture (an_smc) from 20150717 18Z
- bgerr (bgerr.new) from 20150717 18Z
- all the warm-running files are from pre-operational APS2 ACCESS-G, saneg.
Spin-up run
- Only control suite does the spin-up as the same warm-cycling files will be fed to the trial suite
- The spin-up starts from 20150717 18Z and finishes 20150731 18Z
- Then the bias coefficients are updated.
- The suite restarts from 20150801 00Z and finishes 20151031 18Z
