We have several types of output file:
candidate files - points yet to be stitched together - text files. Archive - maybe, as these are the input.
tracked files - points stitched together - text files. Archive - possibly only over full period (year, or from start to end of simulation) - as netcdf file?
edited files - tracks with extra information, e.g. size - text files. Archive - maybe, or else add this information to the tracked files.
netcdf output files - after the plotting code, which fills in any gaps, then convert some of the above (tracked files at minimum), and convert them into netcdf files for archiving. Want to capture some metadata from the netcdf files.
