standard - Version (ending aloha_std or bats_std):
--------------------------------------------------

flux_anomalies.XXXX_std:
------------------------
contains the anomalies of all fluxes for all time steps in mol/m^2/yr.
time (10x averaged (annual cycle) DIC flux) 
     (10x anomalies - deviations from averaged flux) 
     (10x running average (one year) of DIC fluxes)
10x refers to the 10 values listed under fluxes.std

fluxes.XXXX_std:
----------------
contains the fluxes for all time steps in mol/m^2/yr.
year gas dif ent trsp ncp sim obs zcmp tot_calc tot_obs
gas = air sea gas exchange in 
dif = diffusion
ent = entrainment
trsp = horizontal transport
ncp = net community production
sim = gas+dif+ent+trsp+ncp
obs = observed C fluxes
zcmp = compension term due to covariance of seasonal variab of h and dCdt_obs
        see eq.14 in Gruber et al., 1998
tcal = sim+zcmp
tobs = obs+zcmp

int_flux_anomalies.set:
-----------------------

contains the integrated values (one for each year; years counted from
first time step) for the standard run's fluxes' anomalies in mol/m^2/yr.
listing as in fluxes.std

int_rate_anomalies.set:
-----------------------
contains the integrated values (one for each year; years counted from
first time step) for the standard run's rates' anomalies in umol/kg/yr.
year gas dif ent trsp ncp sim obs
see fluxes.std for abbrevations

rate_anomalies.XXXX_std:
------------------------

in umol/kg/yr.
time (7x averaged (annual cycle) DIC flux) 
     (7x anomalies - deviations from averaged flux)
     (7x running average (one year) of DIC fluxes)
7x refers to: gas dif ent trsp ncp sim obs
see fluxes.std for abbrevations

rates.XXXX_std:
---------------
contains the rates of change of the components of the DIC budget for
all time steps in umol/kg/yr.
year gas dif ent trsp ncp sim obs c_sim c_obs
see fluxes.std for abbrevations
c_sim = simulated seasonal cycle of C
c_obs = observed seasonal cycle of C

solution.XXXX_std:
------------------
contains the calculated velocities in m/s.
time u_var

std_results.XXXX_std:
---------------------

Description of the structure of Monte Carlo output files - ending
 .aloha_mc or .bats_mc
----------------------------------------------------------------------

flux_mc_anomalies.XXXX_mc:
--------------------------
contains the anomalies for each time step for the first seven
quantities of int_flux_mc_anomalies.set in mol/m^2/yr plus their upper
and lower envelope values deduced from substracting and adding the
weighted uncertainties.

int_flux_mc_anomalies.set:
--------------------------
contains the anomalies of the integrated (yearly) fluxes in mol/m^2/yr
and their "envelope" values deduced from substracting and adding the
uncertainties for the following quantities - definitions see under
.std:
gas exchange - values 1,2,3
diffusion - values 4,5,6
entrainment - etc....
advection
net community production
simulation
observation
zcmp
tcal
tobs


int_rate_mc_anomalies.set:
--------------------------
contains the anomalies of the integrated (yearly) rates in umol/kg/yr
and their "envelope" values deduced from substracting and adding the
uncertainties for the following quantities - definitions see under
.std:
gas exchange - values 1,2,3
diffusion - values 4,5,6
entrainment - etc....
advection
net community production
simulation
observation

mc_fluxes_diff.XXXX_mc:
----------------------
like mc_rates.mc but with the weighted uncertainties (one value each)
instead of envelope values (two each).

mc_fluxes.XXXX_mc:
------------------
contains the absolute values for each time step for the first seven
quantities of int_flux_mc_anomalies.set in mol/m^2/yr plus their upper
and lower envelope values deduced from substracting and adding the
weighted uncertainties.

mc_rates_diff.XXXX_mc:
----------------------
like mc_rates.mc but with the weighted uncertainties (one value each)
instead of envelope values (two each).

mc_rates.XXXX_mc:
-----------------
contains the absolute values for each time step for the quantities of
int_rate_mc_anomalies.set in umol/kg/yr plus their upper and lower
envelope values deduced from substracting and adding the weighted
uncertainties. The last 4 values give the simulated seasonal cycle of
C, its uncertaity envelopes and the observed value of the seasonal
cycle of C.

mc_results.XXXX_mc:
-------------------
contains text and values for integrated fluxes and ratios as well as
their anomalies.
