[MITgcm-support] binary input file with (lat, long, depth, time) for offline run

[Carr, Eric (Carr)]

I would like to input a binary  (lat,long,depth,time) input file for use within the DARWIN package as I implement an offline run. The input file would not impact mitgcm ocean forcing and only impact tracers running on top of the MITGCM.

The   EXF package would seem to be a candidate for handling the input but does not seem to have the capabilities to handle depth. This makes sense with its concentration on surface forcing.   I could shoehorn the depth layers as levels but that seems inelegant.

Adding it to the OFFLINE package dataset seems cumbersome.  I think i would also require me to inflate my timestep resolution to match the offline dataset , and thus making it artificially large.

Am I missing a straightforward package/way to add  (lat,long,depth,time)  input file.  I have no issue with setting up the data as a NC or Fortran binary.

Cheers,
Eric
