module cable_output_mod
  !* This module provides the interface for interacting with the CABLE output system.
  !
  ! The output system is responsible for writing CABLE output variables to one or
  ! more netCDF output and/or restart files, and includes functionality for
  ! performing parallel I/O in MPI mode, grid cell reductions over sub-grid tiles,
  ! and time aggregations of diagnostic variables.
  !
  ! Using the output system involves the following steps:
  !
  ! 1. [[cable_output_mod_init]] must be called before any
  ! other procedures in this module to initialise the output system.
  !
  ! 2. Diagnostics should be registered with the output system via
  ! [[cable_output_register_output_variables]]. This involves creating an array of
  ! `cable_output_variable_t` instances which describe the available diagnostics
  ! and passing this array to `cable_output_register_output_variables`. For
  ! example, a 1-dimensional diagnostic variable defined on the patch
  ! dimension could be registered as follows:
  !
  !
  !         call cable_output_register_output_variables([ &
  !           cable_output_variable_t( &
  !             field_name="my_diagnostic", &
  !             data_shape=[cable_output_get_dimension("patch")], &
  !             aggregator=new_aggregator(my_diagnostic_working_variable) &
  !           ), &
  !           cable_output_variable_t( &
  !             ...
  !           ) &
  !         ])
  !
  !
  !     Note that registering an output variable does not necessarily mean that the
  !     variable will be written to an output stream - this can depend on whether the
  !     output variable is active, which often depends on the output configuration,
  !     or if the variable is a restart variable and whether we are writing to a
  !     restart file. There are additional properties which may be specified for each
  !     registered output variable - please see [[cable_output_variable_t]] for more
  !     details. In general, output variables should be registered if their associated
  !     diagnostic working variables are initialised in the model as this can help
  !     provide information on the diagnostics which are available.
  !
  ! 3. Output streams should be initialised via [[cable_output_init_streams]]. This
  ! should be done after registering output variables as the output stream
  ! initialisation involves determining which output variables are active in each
  ! output stream based on the current output configuration. Once an output stream
  ! has been initialised, data can be written to disk.
  !
  ! 4. Typically on the first time step of the simulation,
  ! [[cable_output_write_parameters]] should be called to write out any non-time
  ! varying parameter output variables.
  !
  ! 5. On each time step, [[cable_output_update]] should be called to update the
  ! time aggregation accumulation for any output variables that are active in an
  ! output stream. After `cable_output_update` is called, [[cable_output_write]]
  ! should be called to write out the output variables for any output streams with
  ! a sampling frequency that aligns with the current time step.
  !
  ! 6. If writing a CABLE restart file is required, then
  ! [[cable_output_write_restart]] should be called at the end of the simulation
  ! to write out the restart variables to the CABLE restart file.
  !
  ! 7. Lastly, after all output has been written, [[cable_output_mod_end]] should
  ! be called to close any open output streams and perform any necessary cleanup of
  ! resources.

  type, public :: cable_output_attribute_t
    !! Type for describing string valued netCDF file attributes.
    character(64) :: name !! Name of the attribute.
    character(256) :: value !! Value of the attribute
  end type

  type, public :: cable_output_variable_t
    !* Type for describing output variables.
    !
    ! This type provides the basis for registering output variables with the
    ! output module via [[cable_output_register_output_variables]], and is used in
    ! the definition and writing of output variables in various output streams.
    character(64) :: field_name
      !* The name of the variable as used in the CABLE code. This name is used
      ! as the netCDF variable name when writing CABLE restart files.
    character(64) :: netcdf_name = ""
      !* The name of the variable as it should appear in netCDF output files. If
      ! not specified, this defaults to `field_name`.
    character(64) :: accumulation_frequency = "all"
      !* The frequency at which the variable is accumulated when computing time
      ! aggregations. Please refer to the [[cable_timing_frequency_matches]]
      ! procedure for more information on the available frequency settings. If not
      ! specified, this defaults to "all", meaning that the variable is
      ! accumulated at every CABLE time step.
    character(64) :: reduction_method = "none"
      !* The grid cell reduction method to apply to the variable. The allowed
      ! reduction methods are specified in `allowed_reduction_methods`. Please
      ! refer to [[cable_grid_reductions_mod]] for more details on grid
      ! reductions.
    character(64) :: aggregation_method = "point"
      !* The time aggregation method to apply when sampling a diagnostic. Please refer to
      ! `allowed_aggregation_methods` for more details on the available
      ! aggregation methods.

    logical :: parameter = .false.
      !* A flag indicating whether the variable is a non-time varying parameter.
      ! Variables with `parameter = .true.` are written once on the first time
      ! step via [[cable_output_write_parameters]].
    logical :: distributed = .true.
      !* A flag indicating whether the variable is distributed across multiple
      ! processes. If `distributed = .true.`, the output module will infer an
      ! appropriate parallel I/O decomposition from `data_shape` to perform a
      ! distributed write to disk. If `distributed = .false.`, it is assumed by
      ! the output module that each process has a copy of the data, and only the
      ! data on the root process will be written.
    logical :: restart = .false.
      !* A flag indicating whether the variable should be written to the CABLE
      ! restart file at the end of the run. Please see
      ! [[cable_output_write_restart]] for more details on how restart variables
      ! are written.
    logical :: patchout = .false.
      !* A flag indicating whether subgrid patch information should be included
      ! in the output variable output. If `patchout = .true.`, this has the same
      ! effect as setting `reduction_method = "none"`. This is a legacy flag for
      ! backward compatibility with the CABLE output namelist settings.
    integer :: var_type = CABLE_OUTPUT_VAR_TYPE_UNDEFINED
      !* The netCDF variable type using `CABLE_NETCDF_<type>` constants. If not

      ! writing output.
    real, private :: range_native(2) = [-huge(0.0), huge(0.0)]
      !* The valid range of physical values for the output variable in the units
      ! of the native diagnostic.
    real, allocatable :: range(:)
      !* The valid range of physical values for the output variable. If a unit
      ! conversion is applied to the native diagnostic via the `scale_by`,
      ! `divide_by`, or `offset_by` components, the range should be given in the
      ! units of the output variable after applying the unit conversion. If
      ! unspecified, all values are considered valid.
    type(cable_output_dim_t), allocatable :: data_shape(:)
      !* An array of in-memory dimensions describing the shape of the variable
      ! data. The dimensions must be created via [[cable_output_get_dimension]]
      ! to ensure that reserved dimension names are handled correctly by the
      ! output module. If not specified, the data shape is assumed to be a
      ! scalar.
    class(aggregator_t), allocatable :: aggregator
      !* The aggregator object associated with the diagnostic working variable
      ! to be written for this output variable. The aggregator object should not
      ! be initialised when registering output variables as this is done
      ! internally in the output module the output variable is active.
    type(cable_output_attribute_t), allocatable :: metadata(:)
      !* NetCDF variable attributes to be written with the variable.
  contains
    procedure, private :: get_netcdf_name => cable_output_variable_get_netcdf_name

      !* The grid type of the output stream. This controls the netCDF dimensions
      ! and coordinate variables used to describe non-vertical spatial coordinates
      ! in the netCDF file. Common grid types in CABLE include the compressed land
      ! grid, or the lat-lon mask grid. The allowed grid types are specified in

    ! Adding new dimensions and shapes for output variables is possible, however
    ! it is currently more involved than adding new output variables and requires
    ! making changes to the output module implementation. The steps to add a new
    ! dimension to the output module are as follows:
    !
    ! 1. Add the new dimension name and size definition to `cable_output_get_dimension`.
    ! 2. If grid cell reductions are required for variables involving the new
    ! dimension, add a new grid reduction buffer allocation in
    ! [[cable_output_reductions]] consistent with the data shape and any
    ! necessary code to associate the buffer with an output variable.
    ! 3. If distributed writes are required for variables involving the new
    ! dimension, add a new decomposition definition in `cable_output_decomp_smod`
    ! consistent with the data shape and any necessary code to associate the
    ! decomposition with an output variable.
    !
    ! In future versions this can be improved by generating the necessary grid
    ! reduction buffers and parallel I/O decompositions based on the active output
    ! variables across all output streams, rather than requiring hard coded
    ! definitions for each dimension and shape in the output module implementation.
