scheduled routine will be called. This is part of the special design of
the ANALYSIS bin.
+E18 Is there a way to synchronize individual grid variables in a group?
+
+ Not at the moment. This was a design decision partly to be able to
+ support "compact" groups of variables in the future (that is, groups
+ where the group members at any grid point are stored contiguously in
+ memory ... compared to the "normal" way we have now where each group
+ member is stored as a different array). With compact groups synchronizing
+ single members would be more computationally expensive. Currently
+ the infrastructure is mainly built around the concept of groups of
+ variables, and changing this would involve changes to the driver
+ interface.
+
+E19 Is there a way to synchronize just one time level of a grid variable?
+
+ Right now only one time level is sychronized, that is the "current" level.
+ Other time levels cannot be synchronized and are assumed to be fixed
+ or read only.
