All excellent suggestions @dkhutch.
I believe @MartinDix has already fixed for the problem with the monthly restarts being archived, and that is now available on gadi.
I agree automated post-processing (netCDF conversion) is a must.
I agree that the model outputs waaaay too much data by default. The access-om2 models have multiple configurations in different branches in the configs repo
Using the same approach we can support different versions of configurations for different purposes. Or maybe we could have a tool/script that does a wholesale conversion of diagnostics from one mode to another. I’m not too familiar with what would be required for that.
And please do share your configs and what you’ve found to be useful settings for outputs etc in a paleo context.
