Preprocessed Reference Runs

The [oceanPreprocessedReference] and [seaIcePreprocessedReference] sections of a configuration file contain options used to point to preprocessed data from legacy E3SM reference runs:

[oceanPreprocessedReference]
## options related to a preprocessed ocean reference run with which the
## results will be compared

# directory where ocean reference simulation results are stored
baseDirectory = /dir/to/ocean/reference

...

[seaIcePreprocessedReference]
## options related to a preprocessed sea ice reference run with which the
## results will be compared

# directory where ocean reference simulation results are stored
baseDirectory = /dir/to/seaice/reference

If such a preprocessed reference run is available, the name of the reference run should be specified (see Runs) and the base directories should be specified here.
