!     PREFACE
!===================================================================================================
! This program loads on one hand, a GCM file, which can be :
!       - a GCM diagfi.nc or concat.nc that covers the observation period,
!       - a GCM stats file (stats.nc) which gets extended to cover the observation period
!
! On the other hand, it loads a MRO/MCS data file (binned by Luca Montabone).  
! This MCS file serves then as a reference for the interpolation and the binning of the
! GCM variables contained in the GCM file and given as inputs in the simu_MCS.def
!
! Since the MCS data is binned by intervals of Ls, the GCM simulation's data is interpolated at 
! the MCS spatial coordinates, at every GCM sol value contained in each interval of Ls, before  
! being averaged to create output bins for each interval. The binning in sols also takes into
! account the variability of Local Time in the bin and tries to represent it (with a number of LT
! values in each sol bin equal to the number of values in each associated MCS bin : numbintemp/dust/wice,
! and centered around the MCS bin LT average : timeave).
!
! There are also specific GCM variables that the program looks for in order to make them
! comparable with their equivalent in MCS files. These variables are :
!                                     GCM                         MCS
!                           # temp                    --->   dtemp,ntemp
!                           # dso(/dsodust/qdust)+rho --->   ddust,ndust (dust opacity/km)
!                           # h2o_ice+rho             --->   dwice,nwice (water ice opacity/km)
!
! For dust especially, if a dust opacity variable has been created in the output file, the program also
! computes the ratio of the Column-integrated Dust Optical Depths from the binned GCM file and the
! MCS file, that can then be used to normalize the dust opacity profiles when doing comparisons.
!
! Eventually, the program outputs a netcdf file, filled with the GCM binned data for dayside
! and nightside and edited with the same format than the MCS file (and with the same 
! dimensions' declaration order).
!
! Minimal requirements :
!     - the MCS file must contain the variables :
!                             dtimeave,dtimemax,dtimemin,
!                             dtemp,dnumbintemp,
!                             ddust,dnumbindust,
!                             dwice,dnumbinwice,
!                             ntimeave,ntimemax,ntimemin,
!                             ntemp,nnumbintemp,
!                             ndust,nnumbindust,
!                             nwice,nnumbinwice
!     - the GCM file must :
!                           # have the same altitude type as the MCS file ;
!                           # cover completely the observation period
!
