  1. Run experiment setup scripts

See the following global-workflow wiki page: https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/wiki/Run-setup-scripts-to-generate-experiment/c85d5c2f87b298b6f0536a2fc2fb425a092c70fc

Note: the above wiki links are to older revisions of the global-workflow GitHub wiki (before updates were made for GFSv17/develop). Use wcoss2 for the machine where needed (e.g. link_fv3gfs.sh script) and ignore references to now unsupported machines (e.g. WCOSS-Dell and WCOSS-Cray).
