This page is dedicated to collect the needs for new ocean diagnostics from the users. You can add any request you need.
This is a open page that is meant to evolve and to gather as many comments, discussions, feedback as possible.
This is also the place to share your experience about ocean_pp.bash/common_ocean_post.txt.

What do you think about the splitting of ocean_pp.bash into ocean_pp.bash and a configuration file ?
VG : I think there is potential loss for the user of the overview of the very large set of functionalities with such a splitting. Indeed, for a new user, selecting the basic default option in the config file is enough to monitor his/her experiment with some common indexes. But for an advanced user, ocean_pp.bash is a loop over the set of default option and a function of common_ocean_post.txt is called under each option with a given set of arguments. Those arguments can easily be changed to get slightly different diagnostics or indexes. For example, the vert_Tsection option selects currently 6 vertical temperature sections at default locations but an advanced user could get a vertical section at any location by changing the arguments of the call to cutsection. In short, I think if the user does not see the ocean_pp script anymore, this script will be used as a black box and the modularity allowed by the call to independent functions from common_ocean_post.txt might get lost.
