Mars GCM:
Add reference def files used to generate MCDv6.1 in deftank
(as a side note MCDv6.1 was generated using r2740 of the GCM)

[2216]1>> GENERAL INFORMATION
2This directory contains examples of "def" files that are inputs for GCM runs,
3along with sample scripts to run the model (in serial, on a Linux system).
4Subdirectories ciclad, occigen, etc. contain scripts specific to these
5machines and their job schedulers; check the README there.

7>> DEF FILES
8To run the GCM needs (see documentation) "run.def", "callphys.def",
9"traceur.def" and "z2sig.def" input files.
10Files stored here are suffixed for different "GCM configurations"
11(e.g. *.def.watercycle to run simulations with the dust and water
12cycles); rename (and adapt) them for your usage.
13Miscelaneous comments:
14- run.def.1d is an example specific for the 1D testphys1d model
15- run.def.lonxlatxalt illustrate cases for different spatial grids
16  (typically the GCM is run at 64x48 horizontal resolution)
17- z2sig.def is the current standard vertical grid definition (use 54 layers
[2637]18  if running up to ~120km, e.g. water & dust cycle simulations, 73 layers
[2216]19  if including chemistry and thermosphere up to ~300km)
[2637]20- *.GCM5 files correspond to GCM5 version using z2sig.def.MCD5
21  up to ~120km (32 levels) or ~300km (49 levels)
22- *.MCD5 files correspond to what was used to generate MCDv5.x simulations
23- *.GCM6 files correspond to GCM6 version with improved dust and water cycles
24  up to ~120km (54 levels)
[2807]25- *.MCD6 files correspond to what was used to generate MCDv6.1 simulations
[2216]26
[2223]27>> XML FILES
28These are required when running with the XIOS library
29- iodef.xml : general settings
30- context_lmdz_physics.xml : definition of variables, grids, output files, etc.
31
[2216]32>> SCRIPTS
33- "run0" is a script to run (once or nummax times) chained simulations
34- "run_mcd" is a script that uses "run0" and runs simulations taking
35  into account the change of number of sols every Martian month.
