[Ncep.list.emc.fv3gfs_tickets] FV3GFS Ticket #14: Modify global_chgres to output NSST data in NetCDF format

[Dusan Jovic]

  The 'grid" files use dimensions named nx,ny and nxp,nyp, but those 
files are on "super-grid" which is not the same as grid used in orog, 
chgres and other input files. All other input files use 'lon' and 'lat' 
('lonp', 'latp') as dimension names. I do not suggest renaming 
dimensions in chgres file from 'nlon', 'nlat' to nx,ny but to 'lon', 
'lat' to be consistent with other input files which are on the same grid.

  See for example files named gfs_data.tile*.nc, oro_data.tile*.nc and 
sfc_data.tile*.nc in 
/gpfs/hps/emc/global/noscrub/Jun.Wang/FV3_RT/REGRESSION_TEST/FV3_input_data/INPUT.

  I also find very confusing and inconsistent the use of xaxis_1,yaxis_1 
as dimension names in restart files and grid_xt, grid_yt in history files.
