Test run (simple)

Name	Description
Production	The full publication-level run
Testing	A initial run through of all the model settings to search for bugs

Production runs can be enormously expensive. In addition, it is completely normal for users to make simple errors when changing set-ups. Especially when change the location and size of the region/resolutions.

ACCESS-NRI is advocating for users to get comfortable with the concept of testing and production runs.

Testing runs are short and cheap and designed solely to check whether paths are correct, executables can be found storage flags are set correctly, etc.

By running shorter runs you will save time and computing resources.

To convert you production run into a test run you can change the chunk length CRUN_LEN and length of a full cycle CYCLE_INT_HR to 1.

To do so, change to the RNS directory.
