<div dir="ltr">Hi Matt,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your reply. I've just re-run with daily output and the anomaly starts on the first day after the restart. The anomalies look to be consistent between restarts, so are not generated randomly.

<br>
It may be chaos originating from roundoff differences when using different sets of machines in parallel computations. <br>
Do they differ on the first day of simulation or does it takes a few weeks/months before you notice it?<br>

The problem I am having is that the physical fields of the restarted simulation do not match the control simulation (without restarts). I get a very small deviation in physics. So far I have got around this by re-running the baseline simulation with identical restart points, which allows for model conservation, but will result in a deviation in the solution of the ocean state estimate.<br>
