Second section of namcouple file

The second part of the namcouple, starting after the keyword $STRINGS, contains coupling information for each coupling (or I/O) field. Its format depends on the field status given by the last entry on the field first line (EXPORTED, IGNOUT or INPUT in the example above). The field may be :

• AUXILARY: UNUSED
• EXPORTED: exchanged between components and transformed by OASIS3-MCT
• EXPOUT: exchanged, transformed and also written to two debug NetCDF files, one before the sending action in the source component below the oasis_put call (after local transformations LOCTRANS and BLASOLD if present), and one after the receiving action in the target component below the oasis_get call (after all transformations). EXPOUT should be used only when debugging the coupled model. The name of the debug NetCDF file (one per field) is automatically defined based on the field and component names.
• IGNORED: with OASIS3-MCT, this setting is equivalent to and converted to EXPORTED
• IGNOUT: with OASIS3-MCT, this setting is equivalent to and converted to EXPOUT
• INPUT: read in from the input file by the target component below the oasis_get call at appropriate times corresponding to the input period indicated by the user in the namcouple. See section 5.3 for the format of the input file.
• OUTPUT: written out to an output debug NetCDF file by the source component below the oasis_put call, after local transformations LOCTRANS and BLASOLD, at appropriate times corresponding to the output period indicated by the user in the namcouple.
