average and diagnostic

[redhat007]

Dear
1-Does '#define AVERAGES' just generate ocean_ave.nc file?
2-Do '#define DIAGNOSTICS_UV 'and '#define DIAGNOSTICS_TS ' just generate ocean_dig.nc file?
3-would you please tell me if 3 mentioned options be undefined, their effect is just not generating related output files and will not effect on other file's result (for example in ocean_hid.nc file)?
Cheers

#define AVERAGES causes the averages netcdf file to be created.

In ocean.in you still need to set the Aout logical flags to select which data to write, and the NAVG interval over which to accumulate the average.

Likewise, #define DIAGNOSTICS_UV , #define DIAGNOSTICS_TS or #define DIAGNOSTICS_BIO causes the diagnostics netcdf file to be created. (An internal flag DIAGNOSTICS is set in globaldefs.h if any of these is true, but don't mess with that).

In ocean.in you still need to set the Dout logical flags to select which data to write, and the NDIA interval over which to accumulate the diagnostic terms (they are averages over time).

Activating averages of diagnostics has no impact on the history output.
