Brief description
This continues development of svn ticket 1016: https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/lfric_apps/ticket/1016
lfric2lfric is now able to generate checkpoint files with two different methods. In this ticket we will add the functionality of creating lbc files in a regional mesh to drive regional domains. The required machinery is already present in the code, although now we will need to process time-changing fields. Writing fields defined in a lbc mesh is still not possible, so the results will be initially just calculated in memory, or written to the matching regional mesh. Writing in a lbc mesh will be the purpose of a later ticket.
It will be possible to use map regridding, but this does not make sense for practical purposes: the aim of lbcs is to allow running nested models, and map regridding can only be done between meshes on the same domain but different resolutions.
Further details of the issue.
