Auxiliary data files for FILLING

For the FILLING analysis, the global data set used can be either interannual monthly, climatological monthly or yearly (see 6.4). The name of the global data file can be chosen by the user and has to be indicated in the namcouple have to be given to OASIS through the input file namcouple. In case of monthly data, the file must be written in the following way:

      ...
      REAL field_january_year_01(jpi, jpj)
      ...
      WRITE(NLU_fil) field_january_year_01
      WRITE(NLU_fil) field_february_year_01
      WRITE(NLU_fil) field_march_year_01
      etc...
      WRITE(NLU_fil) field_december_year_01
C
C if climatology, one stops here
C
      WRITE(NLU_fil) field_january_year_02
      etc...

where

• field_... is the global dataset
• jpi and jpj are the dimensions of the grid on which FILLING is performed
• NLU_fil is the logical unit associated to the global data file and is defined in the input file namcouple
