pom.check_lcfiles Namespace Reference

Checks loop current file timestamps. More...

Detailed Description

Checks loop current file timestamps.

This module checks the datestamp in the Loop Current files and compare with the forecast start date. If the datestmp is 90 days older than forecast start date, it tells the ocean init scripts to not use them. Also note that if the datestamp in the Loop Current files later than forecast date, it tells the ocean init scripts to not not use them.
