options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -delscratch, --delete_scratch_and_mesh_first
                        Delete scratch dir and ESMF mesh files before the run,
                        which forces ESMF and NetCDF actions to occur.
  -delraw, --delete_forcing_raw_input_first
                        Delete contents of '/ngen-app/data/raw_input' before
                        the run, which forces forcing data to be re-
                        downloaded.
  -ofunc OBJECTIVE_FUNCTION, --objective_function OBJECTIVE_FUNCTION
                        Objective function of previously-ran calibration
                        realization for basis of forecast. Affects directory
                        path. Default: Objective.kge
  -optalgo OPTIMIZATION_ALGORITHM, --optimization_algorithm OPTIMIZATION_ALGORITHM
                        Optimization algorithm of previously-ran calibration
                        realization for basis of forecast. Affects directory
                        path. Default: Algorithm.dds
  -g GAGE_ID, --gage_id GAGE_ID
                        Gage ID to run the forecast for. Default: '01123000'
  -gdomain {CONUS,Alaska,Hawaii,Puerto_Rico,GL}, --global_domain {CONUS,Alaska,Hawaii,Puerto_Rico,GL}
                        Global domain/region of forcing data. Default=CONUS
  -fstatic FORCING_STATIC_DIR, --forcing_static_dir FORCING_STATIC_DIR
                        Directory for static forcing files, used when
                        forcing_provider is 'bmi'. Default=/ngen-app/data
  -fprov FORCING_PROVIDER, --forcing_provider FORCING_PROVIDER
                        Forcing provider to use, e.g., 'bmi' or 'csv'.
                        Default: 'bmi'
  -dt CYCLE_DATETIME, --cycle_datetime CYCLE_DATETIME
                        start date/time for the forecast cycle (also the end
                        of cold-start if chosen), format= 'YYYY-MM-DD
                        HH:mm:ss'. If omitted, a forecast will not be ran.
  -csdt COLD_START_DATETIME, --cold_start_datetime COLD_START_DATETIME
                        start date/time for cold-start, format= 'YYYY-MM-DD
                        HH:mm:ss'. If omitted, a cold-start will not be used.
  -fconfig FORCING_CONFIGURATION, --forcing_configuration FORCING_CONFIGURATION
                        Forcing configuration to use, e.g., 'short_range',
                        'standard_ana', etc. Default: 'short_range'
  -rname FCST_RUN_NAME, --fcst_run_name FCST_RUN_NAME
                        Forecast run name. Default: 'fcst_run1'
  -n NPROCS, --nprocs NPROCS
                        Replaces default value for nprocs (1) and subsequently
                        the ParallelConfig instance that is passed to MSWM.
