Description
The length of OASIS coupling field names is limited to 8 characters in OPA_SRC/SBC/cpl_oasis3.F90:
TYPE, PUBLIC :: FLD_CPL !: Type for coupling field information [...] CHARACTER(len = 8) :: clname ! Name of the coupling field [...] END TYPE FLD_CPL
However, the limit for coupling field names has been increased to 128 characters in OASIS3 a while ago, hence there should be no reason for NEMO to have a lower limit.
This is particularly important in the context of multi-category coupling fields (i.e. for LIM3), which need extra space in the character string for sequential numbering.

This will be done in the next release when moving the coupling interface from oasis3 to oasis3-mct. Note that because of this change, next release will no more be compatible with oasis3.
This is very similar to ticket #1343. I will try to apply the fix for that later today but in the meantime I will close this ticket as a duplicate.
