For the spin-up, I’m planning monthly data only. At the end, I want to run ~50 years with more output which can be used as a control run for perturbation experiments. I likely use the output also available for the piControl ACCESS-CM2 (1°) + any extra requests.

Spinup: The atm/ice output is not that large compared to the ocean so could write out the “whole lot” or reduce to

- atm: temp, specific humidity, pressure, u, v, sw/lw radiation, total precipitation
- ice: area, concentration, thickness/volume

For the ocean output at least

- 1D: ocean heat/salt content, global avg SST/SSS, ocean KE/PE
- 2D: mld, sea\_level
- 3D: temp, salt, u, v, pot\_rho\_0, age(?), overturning diagnostics(?)

Happy to adjust any of the above.
