[MITgcm-support] Guide to output variables?

[Jody Klymak]

Hi Christopher,

I don't know what those are either (well, except Xc is centered x, ph  
is the streamfunction (I think))

Anyhoo, hope youa re enjoying Scripps so far.  Has Jen hooked you up  
with surfboards etc?  You can't be a postdoc there w/o surfing every  
day.  Ignore Paola when she suggests that is decadent.

Cheers,  Jody
