Hi @spencerwong  
.pg timeseries files definitely aren’t needed for spin-up or standard experiments. They can be useful for specific applications and in model development so it would be helpful to have an example and/or some instructions on how to set them up but in general they should be removed. Notes on an example here: [CABLE site runs with ACCESS forcing - Land Surface / CABLE - ACCESS Hive Community Forum (access-hive.org.au)](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/cable-site-runs-with-access-forcing/2108/2)

I’ve been making good use of timeseries output for CABLE3 work preparing for ESM1.6 (though I have to admit that I’m not running with payu). I’ve been using convsh to convert to netcdf.
