-INPUT: 
-
-'CC'   = Horizontal fraction of the grid box covered by cloud [0-1]. code=248
-
-'CI'   = Sea Ice Cover [0-1]. code=31
-
-'CIWC' = Specific cloud ice water content. Grid-box
-         mean specific cloud ice water content (mass of condensate
-         / mass of moist air).  [kg kg**-1]. code=247
-
-'CLWC' = Specific cloud liquid water content. Grid-box mean
-         specific cloud liquid water content (mass of condensate /
-         mass of moist air) [kg kg**-1]. code=246
-
-'PSURF'= Surface pressure [(Pa)]. code=1
-
-'Q'    = Specific humidity. Grid box mean (mass of water vapour /
-         mass of moist air). [kg kg**-1]. code=133
-
-'SKT'  = Skin temperature. Temperature of the surface skin
-         (radiative surface temperature). Before 01/10/2008, the skin
-         temperature was equal to the bulk SST over the
-         ocean. [K]. code=235
-
-'T'    = Temperature [K]. code=130
-
-'T2M'  = 2 metre temperature [K]. code=167
-
-'TCC'  = Total cloud cover. Total cloud cover derived from model
-         levels using the model's overlap assumption [0-1]. code=164
-
