Hi Ed and company,
I suggest that missing value shouldn't be zero by default.  That just  
confirms the old problem where masked fields were set to zero in the  
masks.  For fields like temperature and velocity that was just a  
mess.  If we use missing_value=0, and open in ferret or netcdf, then,  
for example, in a run started from rest ALL the initial velocities  
will be missing!  I suggest the missing value standard from netcdf:   
-1e34.
