Mars PCM:
Update reference traceur.def.MCD5 to include all ions (as in *.MCD6) since
runs including the ionosphere needs these.
While at it also from some callphys.def.* files and rename
callphys.def.watercycle as callphys.def.GCM5 to (hopefully) avoid confusions.

[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"
[3176]11(e.g. *.def.GCM5 to run simulations with the CO2, dust and water
[2216]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)
[3058]17- z2sig.def.MCD6 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
[3058]19  if including chemistry and thermosphere up to ~250km)
[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
[3176]23  i.e. include CO2, dust and water cycles (as *.GCM5) and in addition also
24  include chemistry, thermospheric processes and ionosphere
[2637]25- *.GCM6 files correspond to GCM6 version with improved dust and water cycles
[3058]26  up to ~120km (54 levels) using z2sig.def.MCD6
[2807]27- *.MCD6 files correspond to what was used to generate MCDv6.1 simulations
[3058]28  up to ~250km (73 levels) using z2sig.def.MCD6
[2216]29
[2223]30>> XML FILES
31These are required when running with the XIOS library
32- iodef.xml : general settings
33- context_lmdz_physics.xml : definition of variables, grids, output files, etc.
34
[2216]35>> SCRIPTS
36- "run0" is a script to run (once or nummax times) chained simulations
37- "run_mcd" is a script that uses "run0" and runs simulations taking
38  into account the change of number of sols every Martian month.
