Templates

All output is to be provided in NetCDF. Below are some sample templates which I created using NCL, if you know how to use NCL you can tailor these templates by editing the generators for your particular geometry. Note that these templates must only be followed in terms of variable name definition, the vertical structure of the data (and in the case of the time-series, the temporal structure) can and may vary from simulation to simulation.
