Transient linearbasalforcings simulation

[sb-thompson]

Hi all, I wanted to ask if its possible to run a transient simulation using the linearbasalforcings class and vary the values for upper/deepwater melt, upper/deepwater elevation, or perturbation_melting_rate over time? I've tried to use the general setup I've used in other classes. For the upper/deepwater melt and upper/deepwater elevation values, using an array of (2, x), where (1, x) is the value for melting rate/elevation and (2, x) is the time; for the perturbation_melting_rate, I've tried an array of (md.mesh.numberofvertices+1, x), with (1:end-1, x) as the melt perturbations and (end, x) as the time. Both scenarios pass the consistency check, but the values don't change at the appropriate time when I check the transient results.

Is there a way to run this kind of transient simulation, or something I missed in the setups I've tried? Thank you for your help on this.

Hello @sb-thompson
I checked the code and these fields can all be time series (where the second row is for time stamps in years, just as you describe). Can you check that the times that you prescribed are consistent with the times you have in md.timestepping? (i.e., if your start time is 2018, make sure that the times of changes for these fields are >2018).
