This document provides step-by-step guidelines to store ocean model output from coupled carbon climate simulations and to do so in standard OCMIP4 format. A minimal set of requirements is imposed so that files are consistent between groups in order to allow for model intercomparison. All output files will be provided in standard NetCDF format but that alone is not enough. Output files must be written via subroutines provided here. Output not written with these routines is not compatible, even though it may already be in netCDF format.
