[MITgcm-support] Guide to output variables?

[Patrick Heimbach]

Hi there,

manual is always useful place to consult.
E.g. for grid variables:
http://mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest/online_documents/node47.html
which covers all variables you mentioned below.

For extensive list of variables that can be diagnosed,
use diagnostics package
http://mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest/online_documents/node255.html

Monitor package gives global avg., min., max. of all
quantities, see
http://mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest/online_documents/node265.html

Happy surfing!
:o)

-Patrick
