[MITgcm-support] variable state file output

[Baylor Fox-Kemper]

Hi Michael,
   You can do that pretty easily with the diagnostics package.  They  
won't end up in the state files, but they will end up in the  
diagnostics output, which can be easily synchronized to snapshot  
simultaneously with the state files.  I believe what you want is  
diagnosed as 'TOTUTEND' and 'TOTVTEND', that is total u  
tendency..."TOTTEND" and "TOTSEND" are temp and salinity, if you want  
those, too.
   Better yet, you could diagnose PV fluxes online, and make the  
output go directly to diagnostics.  I have thought about doing this a  
number of times, but haven't ever put in the effort.  Check out how  
the diagnostics package version of TOTUTEND is set up by grepping for  
TOTUTEND and see where that leaves you...
   Cheers,
   -Baylor
