[Ncep.list.wwatch3.discussion-group] NetCDF variable names for partitions coming out of ww3_ounf

[Mickael Accensi]

Hi,

we should probably keep phsX, psprX, pdirX and al. as is and just add a 
'p' for the new ones that create a weird names like pt01pX. Can we 
organize a quick confcall next week to finalize this point and probably 
other ones link comp/link files...
