[MITgcm-devel] diagCode

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Torge,

diagCode is (shortly) described in the manual, section 7.1.3,
table 7.1 (which is also reproduced in 2 source code files:
 diagnostics_init_early.F and diagnostics_main_init.F).
Surprisingly, these tables seems up-to-date, but might not be
enough doc. So, if there is something not clear, please let us know.

And regarding the definition of a diagnostic with a 3rd dim 
which is different from Nr, there is a special diagcode, 
(with 'X' in 10th position) and subroutine DIAGNOSTICS_SETKLEV
(in diagnostics_utils.F) to set the number of level.
There is 1 example of such diagnostics, MYPaLev3, in diagnostics_init_early.F

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
