`lat_max`	latitude of spectral atmopsheric grid [integer]

OUTPUT

axis_id axes identifiers
[integer, dimension(:)]

ebm_diagnostics_up

call ebm_diagnostics_up (Time,tg, qg, lprec, fprec, dt_qg )

DESCRIPTION

Diagnostics passed from the "ocean" surface up thru the atmosphere

INPUT

`Time`	time at the current time level (tau) [type(time_type)]
`tg`	atmospheric temperature ( deg_k ) [real, dimension(:,:)]
`qg`	specific humidity ( no units ) [real, dimension(:,:)]
`lprec`	liquid precipitation rate (rain) in kg/m2/s [real, dimension(:,:)]
`fprec`	frozen precipitation rate (snow) in kg/m2/s [real, dimension(:,:)]
`dt_qg`	rate of change in specific humidity (1/s) [real, dimension(:,:)]

ebm_diagnostics_down
```
call ebm_diagnostics_down (Time,olr_toa,olr_boa,ilr_surf,nsw_toa,nsw_surf)
```
DESCRIPTION

[type(time_type)]

DIAGNOSTIC FIELDS

Diagnostic fields may be output to a netcdf file by specifying the module name identifier and the desired field names (given below) in file diag_table. See the documentation for diag_manager.
