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

[Chris Hill]

mnc shouldn't know about fizhi. mnc is meant to be a general purpose utility
layer.

i.e. we should have things looking


 for diagnostics

       fizhi ==> diagnostics ===> write date ===> mnc
                                              or
                                             ===> mdsio
 for field I/O

       fizhi ===> read/write data ===> mnc
                                   or
                                  ===> mdsio
