OVERVIEW

Controls the diagnostic output from individual blobs.

Controls the diagnostics from individual blobs. Blob diagnostics are snapshots at full E system time steps of blob properties. There is no averaging of individual blob properties. The properties that can be output are set in a diagnostic file. The name of the diagnostic file is specified in the namelist.

PUBLIC ROUTINES

  1. ocean_blob_diag_init

    DESCRIPTION
    Initialises the blob diagnostic module.


  2. blob_diag

    DESCRIPTION
    Accummulates the blob diagnostics by creating a linked list of diagnostic blobs. The blobs are kept in the linked list until there are more than dump_num of them. Then, they are written (using write_blobs), and erased from memory.


  3. varid

    DESCRIPTION
    Reads the variable id of a netcdf file.


  4. blob_diag_end

    DESCRIPTION


  5. write_blobs

    DESCRIPTION
    Write the diagnostics of individual blobs.


  6. handle_error

    DESCRIPTION
    Handles any errors from the reading/writing of netcdf files. It should (hopefully) provide some sort of useful idea of what went wrong.


  7. create_netcdf_file

    DESCRIPTION
    Creates a new netcdf file.


  8. open_netcdf_file

    DESCRIPTION
    Opens an existing netcdf file.


  9. close_netcdf_file

    DESCRIPTION
    Closes an existing netcdf file.
