[MITgcm-support] pkg/monitor

[Martin Losch]

Samar,

monitorFreq does have something do to with the monitor package. It 
controls how often the monitor package is called and monitor output 
(lines with %MON) is written to standart out.

I don't think that the timeave package (monitor doesn't have anything 
to do with this) can do anything else than compute and dump time 
averages according to taveFreq. But you could try this: introduce a new 
parameter (e.g. tavedumpFreq) that controls the output and have 
timeave_statv_write write fields only at these freq's (if/endif around 
the write statements, timeave_statv_write does more than just write). 
The model would then still compute the averages, but only write at 
tavedumpFeq ( which has to be a multiple of taveFreq, naturally).

Then there is the diagnostics package, but I don't know what that can 
do.
