choosing the tracer variables to write to ocean_flt.nc?

#1 Unread post by ebjorkstedt »

Does anyone know of a straightforward way to select which tracer variables are written for each float? In my example, I need to write x, depth, temperature, and zooplankton out for each "fish", but would rather not include nutrients, salt, and other bits, to save disk space.

I imagine that I'm missing something right there in front of me, but that doesn't keep me from wishing for an Fout analog to Hout and Aout.

Thanks!

You can check def_floats.F and see that there is not currently any logical switches for defining variables. If you want it badly enough, you can see how Aout is handled and hack it in yourself. ;)
