Hi, I’m beginning to run a series of 1.5km simulations for a relatively large domain. I’m aware that I’ll get close to my current storage quota (1TB) pretty quickly as soon as I start running these for more than 2-3 days. Would it be possible to raise my quota to 7TB?

Additionally, what is the best method for removing data/reducing space taken up as quickly as possible after a simulation has finished? I’ve been transferring the data from /home/n02/n02/miclen/cylc-run/[suitename]/share/cycle/[rundates] to jasmin and deleting these files on archer2. I also delete the era5 forcing data when I no longer need it. Is there anywhere else I should be deleting data from following a suite run?

Thank you,  
Michelle Maclennan

Increased as requested. Sounds like your data management is OK. Are you using a suite that has a data transfer to JASMIN capability?

Thank you, Grenville. I believe so but I haven’t put this workflow in place - I’ve been using Globus to transfer the netcdfs. I can ask my colleagues about it, though.
