       Python script to compute diagnostics (new variables) from model outputs<BR>
       <BR>
+      <P STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:0.7em;">
+      Diagnostics are computed as a given pre-defined combination of variables [var1n], ..., [varNn] as:<BR>
+      &nbsp;&nbsp;-v [VarName]|[var1n]@....@[varNn]<BR>
+      A large series of diagnostics are prepared to be computed from WRF model output. When a given diagnostic has to be computed from the WRF output, the label of the medthod starts with 'WRF', becoming the name of the method: <BR>
+      &nbsp;&nbsp;`WRF[variable]'<BR>
+      It is required to indicate dimensions and variable-dimensions (variables which content the values for a given dimension) from the file. Again, because WRF model provides a not so-useful time variable, one can provide `WRFtime' for the 'Time' dimension and automatically, the resultant file will content a CF-time variable directly computed from WRF variables 'Times'<BR>
+      Finally, in order to faciliate the use of the script for WRF users, some diagnostics require standard variables like pressure, geopotential, air temperature, ... These variables are not directly obtained from WRF output. In order to overcome this problem, python script is already prepared with the computation of these variables, when they are provided as required variables for the diagnostics (one of the [varin]). These pre-prepared variables are:
