Description

I updated the file wc13_obs.nc in the test/WC13/Data directory of the repository. The file now includes the grid_Lm_Mm_N global attribute with integer values:

// global attributes:
...
                :grid_Lm_Mm_N = 54, 53, 30 ;

This attribute is not really needed inside ROMS, but it is added as a good example of 4D-Var observation metadata. This attribute is needed in quality control and binning or the of the observation data during pre-processing.

It is better to add a global attribute than variables or dimensions to the 4D-Var observation file because of backward compatibility.
