You can control many outputs using XIOS (see XIOS_output_controls for details).

Output files

The main output file, equivalent to diagfi.nc is Xhistins.nc. This file is controlled mainly by file_def_physics.xml


Parameter files

iodef.xml
context_pcm_physics.xml
field_def_physics.xml
file_def_physics.xml


XML example files for XIOS can be found in [[1]] for the generic PCM.

XML example files are different for DYNAMICO. See Controling outputs in the dynamics with DYNAMICO. You will find under deftank/dynamico example files for DYNAMICO with generic physics.

file_def_physics.xml

This file (example here) lists the output files you need, and which variables to write in it.

Adding new variables in the physics (physiq_mod/physiq)

If you add fields using the write_output() routine (for example in physiq_mod), you will need to add a corresponding field in field_def_physics.xml. For example,

         call write_output("temperature","temperature","K",zt)

corresponds to

            <field id="temperature"
                   long_name="Atmospheric temperature"
                   unit="K" />

You can automatize the translation fortran->XML via the script UTIL/convert_diagfi_to_xml.py (by pasting the write_output() lines into the fortran_input file read by the script).

You will need to know if the variable is 1D,2D or 3D before putting it in the right section of the field_def_physics.xml file though.
