NetCDF operators (NCO) version 5.3.6

Version 5.3.6 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.

The NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.

From the release message:

Version 5.3.6 consists mainly of bugfixes: There is a regridder fix that prevents it from failing to work with some regional destination grids (global grids are not affected). ncclimo fixes an issue computing global timeseries from ELM/CLM data on unstructured grids, e.g., from "bigrid" ESM simulations. Smaller fixes abound, including to the map-checker. Regridder user should upgrade. Others may skip this release.

New Features

1. The ncremap tutorial on the E3SM Confluence page https://e3sm.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/edit-v2/754286611 contains still more documentation on how to exploit the three types of parallelism (node-, workflow-, and thread-level) supported by ncremap.

Additional details are available in the ChangeLog.
