The output for the vertical-meridional streamfunction may be written as
ascii to the model printout or as 32 bit IEEE unformatted data to
file overturn.yyyyyy.mm.dd.dta. If option netcdf
or meridional_overturning_netcdf is enabled, the
vertical-meridional streamfunction is written in NetCDF format to
file overturn.yyyyyy.mm.dd.dta.nc rather than in unformatted
IEEE. The ``yyyyyy.mm.dd'' is a place holder for year, month, and day
and this naming convention is explained further in Section
38.2. If the
sub-option meridional_overturning_potential is also enabled,
the sigma-meridional streamfunctions are written to
files overturn.sigAmsf.yyyyyy.mm.dd.dta.nc for
and
overturn.sigBmsf.yyyyyy.mm.dd.dta.nc for
.
The
interval between output for each of these streamfunctions is specified
by the single variable vmsfint, and the control is specified by
variable iovmsf.
