Driver

The Omega Driver manages the execution of the Omega ocean model. Currently, the only user-configurable parameters unique to the Driver relate to the time management of the simulation.

   TimeManagement:
      StartTime: 0001-01-01_00:00:00
      StopTime: none
      RunDuration: 0000_02:00:00.000
      CalendarType: No Leap

The StartTime and StopTime should be formatted strings in the form YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS.SSSS and the RunDuration should be a formatted string in the form DDDD_HH:MM:SS.SSSS (the actual width of each unit can be arbitrary and the separators can be any single non-numeric character). Either the StopTime or RunDuration can be set to none in order to use the other to determine the duration of the run. If both are set and StopTime - StartTime is incosistent with RunDuration, then RunDuration is used for the simulation. The supported calendar types are:
