The experiment with PI-02 restarts (with wet cells filled in) is : `/home/561/qo9901/access-om2/1deg_esm1p5_forc_PI02_restarts`, while that of the vk83 restarts is `/home/561/qo9901/access-om2/1deg_esm1p5_forc_vk83_restarts_filled`. The restart files sit on `/g/data/if69/qo9901/ocean_restart_frm_ESM_PI-02/restart_filled_om2`  
and `/g/data/if69/qo9901/ocean_restart_frm_ESM_vk83/restart_filled_om2`.

I did consider that using a different restart year was messing with things - I used yr 700 following Hannah’s post/Spencer’s [instructions](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/tips-tricks-and-troubleshooting-for-new-access-esm-1-5-user/2166/8) but the cice .nml files are different between OM2 and ESM so I couldn’t follow them exactly.

Thanks so much!
