==== Pre-requisite ====


The spin outclass has been defined for historical/spin-up sort of long experiments under the framework of HiResClim (https://dev.ec-earth.org/projects/ecearth3/wiki/PRACE_HiRes_project). 

Here are below the essential pre-requisites before someone start using this outclass:

  *  template: ECEARTH3-SPIN (where Klaus's pp-tool has been embedded and the output is generated in PPA and PPO format rather MMA and MMO)
  *  cdo: v1.5+ (default archdef.conf)
  *  cdftools: v3.0 (default archdef.conf)


==== Outputs ====


  *  IFS

  -  MSLP 
  -  T2M
  -  D2M
  -  precipitation (LS and CONV)
  -  evaporation
  -  SFC momentum flux
  -  SFC energy fluxes (SW, LW, latent and sensible heat)
  -  TOA energy fluxes (SW, LW)
  -  precipitable water,
  -  LWP 
  -  IWP
  -  total and low/mid/high cloud cover
  -  T/Q/U/V/Z on pressure levels 850/500/200

<code>Compute monthly means of these variables, "de-accumulate" fluxes
Make some simple global mean diagnostics: SFC and TOA energy fluxes, P minus E
</code>
  *  NEMO

  -  temperature (3-d)
  -  salinity (3-d)
  -  meridional velocity (3-d)
  -  sea-ice concentration
  -  sea-ice thickness
  -  SSH
  -  SST
  -  SSS

<code>Output can be further reduced by computing ocean diagnostics with cdftools:
- meridional overturning circulation
- barotropic stream function
- mixed layer depth
- ocean heat content
Save only 2-d surface fields: SST, SSH, SSS and sea-ice
</code>
