You may also check that their computational cost is what you expect. 46 46 47 Despite all your attention, your experiments turn out to be bugged, the experimental design was inappropriate or some diagnostics are missing. These things happen, do not blame yourself too much, analyze your errors and you may rerun the simulations with the corrected experimental design or setup!

These things happen, do not blame yourself too much, analyze your errors and you may rerun the simulations with the corrected experimental design or setup!

If you run your analysis on the IPSL spirit cluster, then you can make your model output visible through thredds (see there). 52 When it comes to analyzing your results, you may avoid duplicating the output.

You may delete test simulations that are obsolete and archive the rest (using cc_pack, tar, zip) on the storedir to diminish the environmental impact of mass storage.56 When you have finished the analysis, it is a good idea to keep only the part of the model outputs that has been useful or may be useful in the future.
