temperature & dissolved oxygen data format #26

Open Boylad opened 8 months ago

Boylad commented 8 months ago

Hi Nicolas,

I have a question that I'm not entirely sure about: If temperature and dissolved oxygen data in a netCDF file are set for each year and each step, for example, with dimensions of (years*steps, layers, lon, lat), will all the data be calculated at the corresponding spatiotemporal positions? Or is it sufficient to set for just an average year/step?

Hi @Boylad

It should be calculated at the corresponding spatio-temporal position. You just have to make sure it is rightly parameterized.

For instance, if you have 12 values per year in the oxygen NetCDF, set the oxygen.nsteps.year parameter to 12.

If you run with 24 steps per year, the time index of the NetCDF oxygen variable will be: 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 ... 11 11 12 12
