Bugzilla 1977 - Allow subcolumn history output with non-instantaneous processing

Opened: Steve Goldhaber 2014-05-15 14:29:52 MDT
If there is a history output field that is defined on subcolumns (a subcol field) and its processing type is not instantaneous (e.g., 'A' instead of 'I'), it ends up in the restart history file but restart crashes because the 'psubcols' history coordinate is not yet defined during a restart run.

Proposed action is to allow all history processing functions for subcolumn fields by reimplementing the CAM restart process. In particular, major parts of phys_init need to be called before read_restart_physics.

Sounds like there's info missing from the restart file. The history buffers are unpacked and so the only info needed for a subcol dimension is psubcols (not nsubcols). I'm not seeing what's special about subcols that would require a reordering of the restart process.

This will be fixed as part of the CAM initialization refactor.
