[MITgcm-support] Output record

taveFreq=2592000 means averaging variables over a month (assuming 30 
days). To obtain monthly cumulated variable, you can simply multiply the 
averaged variable by taveFreq/deltaT. For instance, 
T_cumulate=Ttave*2592000/1200 in your case. taveFreq is rather the time 
averaging period.
