14.4.8 Directing output

Namelist /io/

These variables are used for directing diagnostic output to either the model printout file which is in ascii or to 32 bit IEEE data files with suffixes .dta. These control variables will not direct output to NetCDF formatted files. NetCDF format files have suffixes .dta.nc and this format is controlled by options described under each diagnostic in Chapter 38. Control variables are integers and exert control as follows:

•  If control variable < 0 then output is written to unformatted IEEE file and stdout.

•  If control variable $> 0\; and \ne 6$ then output is written to unformatted IEEE file.

•  If control variable =6 then output is written to stdout which is file fort.6. The script run_mom redirects stdout to file results and copies it to a printout file.

The namelist variables are:

•  expnam = character*60 experiment name.

•  iotavg = control variable for writing output from option tracer_averages.

•  iotmb = control variable for writing output from option meridional_tracer_budget.

•  iotrmb = control variable for writing output from option term_balances.

•  ioglen = control variable for writing output from option energy_analysis.

•  iovmsf = control variable for writing output from option meridional_overturning.

•  iogyre = control variable for writing output from option gyre_components.

•  ioprxz = control variable for writing output from option matrix_sections.

•  ioext = control variable for writing output from option show_external_mode.

•  iodsp = control variable for writing output from option diagnostic_surf_height.

•  iotsi = control variable for writing output from option time_step_monitor.

•  iozmbc = control variable for writing output from option show_zonal_mean_of_sbc.

•  iotraj = control variable for writing output from option trajectories.

•  ioxbt = control variable for writing output from option save_xbts.
