The diagfi.def Input File
From Planets
The diagfi.def file is an optional file that is read by the GCM at run time. If it is present then it will dictate which fields will be included in the diagfi.nc output file.
A clarification: generating the diagfi.nc output file is only possible when running with the lon-lat (LMDZ.COMMON) dynamical core (or in 1D), with the Generic or Mars physics packages.
diagfi.def format
Each line of this ASCII file should contain the name (case sensitive!) of a variable to output.
Note that the variable name to use is the one set in the code when calling the writediagfi routine. e.g.
call writediagfi(ngrid,"temp","temperature","K",3,zt)
implies that the variable temp can be outputted in diagfi.nc

- If there is no diagfi.def file found at run-time, then ALL variables will be written in diagfi.nc, which will rapidly become huge. You have been warned. Note however that it is a convenient way to have access to the names of all available variables that may be outputted in diagfi.nc.
- The rate at which the outputs are made in diagfi.nc is set by the ecritphy parameter which is usually set in the run.def file and expressed in terms of dynamical time steps.
