Where did one-letter case names come from? #4626

Closed rljacob closed 3 months ago

Does anyone remember how the one-letter case names (B-case, F-case) came about?

Its in the CESM1.0 docs https://www2.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.0/cesm/cesm_doc_1_0_4/x42.html

But I'm pretty sure its older then that.

The convention is mentioned in CSM/CCSM 1 documentation. According to documentation on legacy releases, this version was released in June 1996. This doesn't describe how the convention came about, it just demonstrates that it's been around a long time.
