[MITgcm-support] Guide to output variables?

[Christopher L. Wolfe]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a guide to the various standard output variables of the 
MITgcm. I've managed to find a text file which lists the name, units, 
and format of the possible output variables of the diagnostics package, 
but not the standard GFD package. The manual does not seem to be much 
help in this regard. Even the tutorials produce outputs for which no 
explanation is given. For instance, the 4-layer baroclinic gyre example 
creates files with names like

XC.*
XG.*
PH.*
PHL.*
RAC.*
RAS.*
RAW.*
RAZ.*

which no indication as to what these variables mean. Any help with this 
is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Christopher
