The online manual is (at least slightly) better than its reputation:

That should have some “secret” code that tells you where individual variables are stored (given that that has been properly specified at the “init” step); somewhere (online-documentation) you can find what the secret code means. So expect some of the variables on C-points on U and V points. Usually the diagnostics are not averaged between grid points before output.
