How to create a TEST CASE

in NEMOGCM/TOOLS/TEST_CASES there are:

1. CREATE_FILES :  python scripts to create 
   1. input files: 
      1. coordinates.nc
      2. bathy_r025.nc
   2. initial state:
      1. TScst_init_r025.nc
   3. forcing file:
      1. flx_r025.nc

and some examples.

1. TEST_EQ_BOX01_noCoriolis : Equatorial box (180°,60°) : with NO stratification / constant wind trades / NO Coriolis
options	values
resolution	2.25° (9/4)
longitude	lon_T=[1,179]
latitude	lat_T=[-31,31] (to have one point at 0° Equator)
vertical levels	31
batymetry	5000m
forcing files	utau=-0.1 / vtau=0 / qtot=0 / qsr=0 / emp=0
NO stratification	so=35 / thetao=10
total time steps	3600
output frequency	5 days
