Description

There are a number of issues with the MPAS framework that keep biting us (especially new users) in the behind. These include:

  • The xtime variable is highly non-standard and should be replaced with something like days since <date>
  • MPAS components output arrays with various choices of the "fill value", but the _FillValue attribute is not set for any of them. Thus, analysis and viz. tools cannot figure out what the fill values are and tedious intermediate steps are required.
