Change to the experiment directory labelled by the date chosen:

cd scratch/ENFO/2013102400/       #  your date may be different

There are two experiment directories: cf000 and pf001. cf000 is for the control forecast which is not used here. pf001 is the single perturbation forecast.

cd pf001
ls

Understand what the different files in the experiment directory are for.

ICM* : these are the initial starting files. ICMGG* are the initial gridpoint files, ICMSH* are the initial spectral fields.

Use the 'grib_ls' command to examine the initial files:

grib_ls ICMGGgc1dINITICMGGoifsINIT
grib_ls ICMSHgc1dINITICMSHoifsINIT

The file: namelistfc is the model 'NAMELIST'. It contains a list of variable settings or 'switches' that control what the model does. These variables are grouped into separate fortran namelists.

When the model completes the forecast successfully, the following files will be found in the output directory. Files with '+' in the name are the model output files. ICMSH are the spectral fields, ICMGG are the gridpoint fields.
