Starting with “warm” states

The state section in the TOML file provides information on the input file if the model is initialized with a warm state (path_input) and to what file the states are written at the end of the model run (path_output). Please note that the model setting cold_start__flag needs to be set to false in order to initialize the model with states from the file located at path_input. A mapping between external netCDF variable state names and model state variable standard names is required below the [state.variables] section. The model state variable standard names are listed on the left side, and the external netCDF variable state names are listed on the right side. Note that path_input is only required when cold_start__flag is set to false. path_output is optional, an output state file is only written when it is defined. If neither is set, the entire state section can be left out.

cold_start__flag = false # cold (cold_start__flag = true) or warm state (cold_start__flag = false), default is true

[state]
path_input = "data/instates-moselle.nc"     # Location of the file with the input states
path_output = "data/outstates-moselle.nc"   # Output location of the states after the model run
