program concatnc


! ********************************************************
! Program to concatenate data from Netcdf "diagfi" files,
! outputs from the martian GCM
! input : diagfi.nc  / concat.nc / stats.nc kind of files
! author: Y. Wanherdrick
! + aps(), bps() and phisinit() are now also written
!   to output file (E. Millour, september 2006)
!   if available (F. Forget, october 2006)
! + handle 1D data (EM, January 2007)
! + ap(), bp()  (F. Forget, February 2008)
! + handle the possibility that number of GCM layers (aps, bps
!   or sigma) may be different from number of vertical levels
!   of data (which is the case for outputs from 'zrecast')
!   (EM, April 2010)
! + handle absence of ap() and bp() if aps and bps are available 
!    (case of stats file) FF, November 2011
! + read and write controle field, if available. TN, October 2013
! + possibility to concatenate concat files with a coherent 
!   time axis in the output, and to redistribute the time axis
!   from an offset given by the user. AB, April 2020
