Second section of namcouple for EXPORTED, AUXILARY and EXPOUT fields

The first 3 lines for fields with status EXPORTED, AUXILARY and EXPOUT are as follows:

   SOSSTSST SISUTESU 1 86400  5  sstoc.nc  sstat.nc EXPORTED
   182  149    128  64  toce  atmo   LAG=+14400 SEQ=+1
   P 2 P 0

• Field first line:
  • SOSSTSST : symbolic name for the field in the source model (CHARACTER*8). It has to match the argument name of the corresponding field declaration in the source model; see prism_def_var_proto in section 4.4.
  • SISUTESU : symbolic name for the field in the target model (CHARACTER*8). It has to match the argument name of the corresponding field declaration in the target model; see prism_def_var_proto in section 4.4.
  • 1 : index in auxiliary file cf_name_table.txt used by OASIS3 and PSMILe to identify corresponding CF standard name and units (see 7.1).
  • 86400 : coupling and/or I/O period for the field, in seconds. (If $CHANNEL is NONE, put ``1''.)
  • 5 : number of transformations to be performed on this field.
  • sstoc.nc : name of the coupling restart file for the field (CHARACTER*8); it may be a binary of netCDF file (for more detail, see section 7.3).
  • sstat.nc : name of the field output file, may be indicated for NONE (and PIPE) communication techniques only. It may be a binary of netCDF file (see section 7.3).
  • EXPORTED : field status.
• Field second line:
  • 182 : number of points for the source grid first dimension (optional if a netCDF coupling restart file is used).
  • 149 : number of points for the source grid second dimension (optional if a netCDF coupling restart file is used).
  • 128 : number of points for the target grid first dimension (optional if a netCDF coupling restart file is used).
  • 64 : number of points for the target grid second dimension (optional if a netCDF coupling restart file is used).
  • toce : prefix of the source grid name in grid data files (see section 7.2) (CHARACTER*4)
  • atmo : prefix of the target grid name in grid data files (CHARACTER*4)
  • LAG=+14400: optional lag index for the field expressed in seconds (CLIM/MPI1 or CLIM/MPI2 communication technique only, see section 4.8).
  • SEQ=+1: optional sequence index for the field (CLIM/MPI1 or CLIM/MPI2 communication technique only, see section 4.8).
• Field third line
  • P : source grid first dimension characteristic (`P': periodical; `R': regional).
  • 2 : source grid first dimension number of overlapping grid points.
  • P : target grid first dimension characteristic (`P': periodical; `R': regional).
  • 0 : target grid first dimension number of overlapping grid points.

The fourth line gives the list of transformations to be performed for this field. There is then one or more additional configuring lines describing some parameters for each transformation. These additional lines are described in more details in the section 6.
