ACCESS-NRI would like the capability to embed global metadata attributes into diagnostic ouput files.
Specifically we want to add unique tracking IDs to model diagnostic (and tracer) outputs to create a full experiment provenance chain that would enable users to discover experiment metadata.
Ideally there would be a config file where any global attribute could be set. A fallback option would be dedicated namelist options for setting specific global metadata attributes.
For background see this related issue for the tool we're using to run our models:

FMS1 has the mpp_write_meta routine that could be used for this purpose.
Has anyone done anything of this nature before?
