Add new diagnostics

If you want to add a NEMO diagnostic to the NEMO code you will need to do the following:

1. Add any necessary code to calculate you new diagnostic in NEMO

2. Send the field to XIOS using CALL iom_put( 'field_id', variable ) where field_id is a unique id for your new diagnostics and variable is the fortran variable containing the data. This should be called at every model timestep regardless of how often you want to output the field. No time averaging should be done in the model code.

3. If it is computationally expensive to calculate your new diagnostic you should also use “iom_use” to determine if it is requested in the current model run. For example,

   IF iom_use('field_id') THEN
      !Some expensive computation
      !...
      !...
      iom_put('field_id', variable)
   ENDIF
   

4. Add a variable definition to the field_def_nemo-???.xml file.

5. Add the variable to the iodef.xml or file_definition.xml file.
