Make NEMO output CF compliant

## Purpose of this tool

Starting from standard NEMO / XIOS2 output, we aim at creating datasets that have the following properties:

1. no un-ambiguous names and labels,
2. every variable contains information about the attached coordinates,
3. every variable has a unit, a long name, if possible a standard name.

Note that 1. implies that coordinate names like nav_lon and nav_lat should be replaced by the respective glam? and gphi fields.

## Materials

• [NEMO book (pdf)](https://www.nemo-ocean.eu/wp-content/uploads/NEMO_book.pdf)
