  comment = {There is some discussion of I/O issues. This weather code does
  some out-of-core work, to communicate data between time steps. They also dump
  a 'history' file every simulated day, and periodic checkpoint files. They are
  flexible about the layout of the history file, assuming postprocessing will
  clean it up. The I/O is not too much trouble on the Cray C90, where they get
  350 MBps to the SSD for the out-of-core data. The history I/O is no problem.
  On distributed-memory machines with no SSD, out-of-core was impractical and
  the history file was only written once per simulated month. 'The most
  significant weakness in the distributed-memory implementation is the
  treatment of I/O, [due to] file system maturity....' See hammond:atmosphere
  and jones:skyhi in the same issue.}
