Cannot load both instantaneous and mean data of the same variable

[rosieeaves]

I'm outputting both the mean and instantaneous data for the PsiVEL variable using the diagnostics package. When I load the data using xmitgcm there is only one PsiVEL parameter, so I assume that one of them is overwriting the other. Is it possible to load the dataset with the mean and instantaneous data as two separate parameters?

Thanks for this useful question. I think you are correct in your diagnosis.

Your best bet would probably be to load the two sets files as separate Xarray Datasets by specifying prefix explicitly. Then you could rename the variables in one and merge them into a single Dataset.
