1) Download and untar the 2022011418 and 2022011500 tar files and put them in a directory called stage
2) cd into your current EXPDIR/snowvar3 directory. In the your config.base file we are going to need to change the following items:
Line 120 change SDATE to 2022011500
Line 121 change EDATE to 2022011506
Line 122 change EXP_WARM_START=".true."
3) In config.stage_ic change line 10 to ICSDIR="the stage directory you just put the tar ball contents"
4) create a directory for old files and move the .db files there
5) From your EXPDIR directory you can regenerate your XML file by running the command " /scratch2/NCEPDEV/stmp3/Youlong.Xia/coulped_snowDA/global-workflow/workflow/setup_xml.py ."
6) rocotorun to start and/or let your crontab start the new run.
