Re: [swanmodel-users] How to restart swan run

[Zeinab S. <zei...@gm...>]

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Please, can you explain clearly how to restart (or make a hot start) for
SWAN after stopping in the middle of a run? If I run SWAN for a period of
one year, It will be very difficult to start again from scratch after
running one or two months.

Best wishes,
Zeinab
