Maybe not the most urgent issue, but maybe we can consider to switch to netCDF files as input for the mesh. The ASCII files are still convenient to produce and modify (nothing can compare to just adding more layers to the top of aux3d.out and getting a new mesh with different number of vertical levels). But with netCDF we can explore optimisations of reading and distributing data, and use it directly in analysis software.
