143	Pass on ROPP undefined netCDF Variables to Output File	frae	Huw Lewis	"I mainly have this when running the thinner on a netCDF file that contains, in addition to the usual ROPP variables, some additional variables (e.g. info on the antenna viewing angle). The output thinned ROPP file currently always contains the standard netCDF ROPP variables, any additional info is lost. Hence this limits the current use of ROPP quite a bit when using it for semi-operational processing or data analysis.

Adding variables manually to the code is also rather cumbersome, since one must assure that the code runs will all possible netCDF permutations. Hence the optimal approach would be to pass these additional variables straight through to the thinned netCDF file (or other output files if deemed necessary). One could even have a default thinning if the additional variable is an array which would not fit into the thinned output."	enhancement	closed	normal	3.0	ropp_io	1.2	fixed
