+* several instqances of the IOW ESM can now run the same root folder
+ * this can be done by creating subfolders in the `input` folder
+ * the names of these input folder are then used as `run_name`
+* output can be automatically archived and compressed (additinally monthly means are provided for fast access)
+* output can automatically synchronized to a target while the model is running
+
+### dependencies
+* bash, git, (python for GUI)
+
+### known issues
+* none

+### tested with
+* intensively tested on both HLRN machines
+ * using example setups available under:
+ (coupled, uncoupled MOM5, uncoupled CCLM, int2lm) /scratch/usr/mviowmod/IOW_ESM/setups/example/1.00.00
+ * can be built and run on Haumea but output is not intensively tested

If everything is set up on your remote computer of choice, you can run the model for the first time by executing this in the root directory:
``` bash
-./run.sh hlrng
+./run.sh hlrng prepare-before-run coupled
```
The first argument of the run script is always the target keyword as specified in your `DESTINATIONS` file.
By executing the run script all files from `scripts` directory will be transferred to the target.
-After the scripts are transferred the model is started on the target.
+The second argument stands for creating necessary mappinng files that are used for the coupling, see `documentation/developers_documentation.pdf`.
+If these mapping files already exist or you want to start an uncoupled run, this argument can be left out
+
+The third argument corresponds to the name of input subfolder that you want to run.
+If you want to run from several input folders, you can list all of them here.
+If you just have a single input folder witout subfolders, this argument can be left out.
+
+In general the run command can look like
+
+``` bash
+./run.sh prepare-before-run sync_to= input1 input2 input3 ...
+```
+where destination1 corresponds to the run target machine and destination2 to a target, where you want to transfer the output to.
-If you use one of the setups from the `SETUPS.example` file, there is no need for further preparation of the coupled model.
-However for the general case there is the possibility to run preparation scripts that set up the exchange grid
-and remapping files for the coupler, see `documentation/developers_documentation.pdf`.
-Note that for an uncoupled run there is no need for the preparation.
