Hi Rahael.  

You want to use pkg/diagnostics.  You can look in the pkg/tracers to see what diagnostics are set up

It would be nice if more of the examples were setup w netcdf + diagnostics output turned on by default.  My understanding is that diagnostics is the preferred method of output from the gcm but a lot of the examples are setup with the old fashioned output files.  I only personally became aware of all the power available in the diagnostics package

I'll use this as a bit of an advertisement.  Right now netcdf files are written one per tile using mnc   If you want just one netcdf file for the whole gcm you can try my fork and use nf90io instead of mnc.   https://github.com/jklymak/MITgcm66h. You need a version of netcdf compiled with a parallel hdf5.  It's not well tested at all, so if you have issues contact me directly (through the github page is easiest) rather than bugging the developers.  

Cheers.
