[MITgcm-devel] putting mnc init in fizhi (and land)

[Alistair Adcroft]

Obviously if fizhi isn't calling MNC directly then it shouldn't see any mnc
stuff.
Diagnostics does call mnc so diagnostics needs to be appropriately
initialize mnc.
Under no circumstances should anything to do with fizhi or diagnostics
appear in mnc.

How much simpler could it be?  :-)

hi ed,
you asked to have this stuff sent to the devel list, you got it.

my understanding of the conversation with JM and you and myself about where
to initialize some of the package dependant mnc stuff is that we ended up
seeing that it SHOULD NOT be done inside the package, but needs to be in mnc
and/or the diagnostics if the mnc stuff is only for diagnostics. (JM, do you
recall???)

and structurally, i frankly can't see any reason why fizhi for 
instance has to know whether the diagnostics in the end will be 
output with mnc or mdsio. the same may go for the land. can you imagine
putting mnc init stuff inside of every package that has its own size (or
other) parameters that mnc has to know about? that to me seems to be part of
the functionality inside mnc....

so - maybe fizhi_mnc_init should be in mnc, with fizhi ifdefs around it.

as for the land part, if the mnc init stuff MUST go in the land package, 
at a minimum shouldn't it be ifdef'd with mnc package?

oh yeah - WHAT is FIZHI_OPTIONS.h doing?
