[MITgcm-devel] Diagnostic package tested

[Andrea Molod]

hi all,

just wanted to let you all know that the new diagnostics
package is tested and ready for all the diagnostics now
present in the timeave package.
aside from turning on the diagnostics package (data.pkg and packages.conf)
the code directory needs a file:
diagnostics_SIZE.h that looks like:

c Diagnostics Array Dimension
c ---------------------------
      integer numdiags
      parameter (numdiags = 26)

and a file in the run directory:
data.diagnostics  that looks like:

# Diagnostic Package Choices
 &diagnostics_list
  frequency(1) = 10,
   levels(1,1) = 1.,
   fields(1,1) = 'ETAN    ',
   filename(1) = 'diagout1',
  frequency(2) = 10,
   levels(1,2) = 1.,2.,3.,4.,5.,
   fields(1,2) = 'UVEL    ','VVEL    ','THETA   ','UVELSQ  ','UTHMASS ',
   filename(2) = 'diagout2',
 &end


this would 'turn on' eta, u,v,theta, u^2, u*theta (mass-weighted),
eta in one file (prefix diagout1) and the others in another file 
(diagout2).

the 'users guide' of the documentation is almost there.
so - check it out if you'd like!
