MOVE conversion thoughts

MOVE provides the TRANSPORT_TOTAL which corresponds to the MOC, but also things like transport_component_internal (TIME,), transport_component_internal_offset (TIME,), and transport_component_boundary (TIME,). This would be similar to RAPID’s version of “interior transport” and “western boundary wedge”, but it’s not so clear how to make these similarly named.

• Notes: Similar in structure to RAPID layer decomposition but naming is inconsistent between RAPID and MOVE.

Potential reformats:

• Overturning: - MOC: time series (dimension: TIME)

• Component transports:

  • Dimensions: TIME, N_COMPONENT (13779, 3)

  • Coordinates: LATITUDE, LONGITUDE_BOUNDS (scalar, x2), TIME in datetime. N_COMPONENT for the number of components.

  • Variables: TRANSPORT (TIME, N_COMPONENT) - This would also have TRANSPORT_NAME (N_COMPONENT, string) to indicate what the component is (e.g. transport_component_internal, transport_component_internal_offset, transport_component_boundary, etc).
