Output variable catalogue
This page lists the 134 variables that can be written to output files, and the 26 that are only written to restart files. It is generated from the variable catalogue (output_catalogue.yaml) and the bindings to model variables (cable_output_bindings*.F90) every time the documentation is built, so it always matches the code.
Use a variable's Name in the output configuration file. A group or module name selects every variable listed under it that is available in the model configuration being run.
How to read the tables
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The name to use in the configuration file. It is also the default name of the variable in the NetCDF file. |
| Long name, Units | Written to the NetCDF file as the long_name and units attributes. |
| Dimensions | The shape of the model data. Time is added for variables that change in time. |
| Group | The group that selects this variable (see the configuration reference). |
| Bound to | The model variable the output is taken from, with the type of the structure it lives in. |
| Notes | Unit conversion applied for output, valid range used by range checking, when the variable exists, and other properties. |
