Need to test compatibility with CIME. Netcdf3 may only be needed for the ESMF mesh. We may also be able to change versions for topo and other files. |

When working with high resolution grids, saving the grid can be very intensive with
NETCDF3_64BITformat (sometimes taking 5-10 minutes). We can change this to be NETCDF4 format. This may cause issues with CESM; more testing is needed.Edit: Originally used compression with zlib which I thought was faster from initial testing, but standard netcdf4 format without compression is actually fastest and avoids possible errors. Saving with netcdf4 instead of netcdf3_64bit results in an order of magnitude speedup for smaller grids, and even greater savings for larger grids.
