.. _config_preprocessed: Preprocessed Reference Runs =========================== The ``[oceanPreprocessedReference]`` and ``[seaIcePreprocessedReference]`` sections of a configuration file contain options used to point to preprocessed data from E3SM v0 reference runs:: [oceanPreprocessedReference] ## options related to preprocessed ocean reference run with which the results ## will be compared (e.g. a POP, CESM or ACME v0 run) # directory where ocean reference simulation results are stored baseDirectory = /dir/to/ocean/reference ... [seaIcePreprocessedReference] ## options related to preprocessed sea ice reference run with which the results ## will be compared (e.g. a CICE, CESM or ACME v0 run) # 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 :ref:`config_runs`) and the base directories should be specified here.
