Notes:

Example of stream intervals referring to other intervals:

 <stream name="restart" ...
        output_interval="0000-00-01_00:00:00" >
        ...
</stream>
<stream name="otherRestartStream" ...
        output_interval="stream:restart:output_interval" >
        ...
</stream>

1. Stream intervals refer to other intervals
   • Sounds reasonable
   • Could be done with almost no code
   • Will start to work on it
2. Unit converstions in streams
   • Would like to output things with different units than are used internal to the model.
   • Might only need to have a 'units' attribute on output fields, and no 'modelUnits', 'scale_factor', or 'add_offset'
   • Could add some validation for units attributes
   • Could add an attribute to specify if the units have been scaled or if they are native
   • Need to ensure the native array is not modified
3. Filter infrastructure
   • Will try to have a discussion that can build on them more
