The initial density fields are saved at two resolutions, 576\ :sup:`3`
and 1152\ :sup:`3`. The resulting particle displacements under the
Zel'dovich approximation are also saved (Abacus applies 2LPT on-the-fly,
so the files only contain ZA). For the covariance suite of 500 Mpc/*h* boxes,
only the lower resolution is available.

The ICs are saved in ASDF files and should have a discoverable data structure.
In addition to the usual parameter set, a set of growth factors D(*z*)/D(*z*<sub>init</sub>)
In addition to the usual parameter set, a set of growth factors D(*z*)/D(*z*\ :sub:`init`)
are saved as the parameter name ``GrowthTable``. The input linear power spectrum
is also saved in the file.

Late-time particle samples (e.g. from halo catalogs) can be connected to their
location in the ICs via the PID. Pass ``lagr_pos`` or ``lagr_idx`` to the ``unpack_bits``
parameter of ``CompaSOHaloCatalog``, or to the ``load`` parameter of ``abacusnbody.data.read_abacus.read_asdf``.

The initial density field is in units of fractional overdensity at *z*\ :sub:`init`.
The ``[0,0,0]`` element of the field is at location ``(x,y,z)=(-0.5,-0.5,-0.5)``, in units
where the box length is 1 and following the Abacus convention of zero-centered domain.
