Hints

This does only work for ITYPE_TS=1

In case you want to run an already finished simulation for a couple of months or years longer proceed as follows:

1. Re-create missing directories

In your experiment directory run

./subchain create

2. Set the new end date

In job_settings set the new end date in YDATE_STOP_ISO. ⚠️ Do not change the start date!

3. Start the simulation by getting the next boundary data

./subchain prep

⚠️Attention⚠️

SPICE is set up in a way, that the last time step of a simulation is added to the timesireis of the final output month. When prolonging the simulation this time step occurs again as the starting point of the new month time series. Therefore, you will probably get in the final yearly time series a double entry (timestep) of the former end date / new (re)start date (first day of the month at 00 UTC). If this is the case, delete one of them manually before concatenating the files to yearly timeseries for analysis / CMORization etc., as this might not be detected later.
