Description

Use case

Users looking to use the QCEFF have to build their own QCEFF table, which seems to be a barrier to entry.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Ease of use,

  • creating the table
  • so many columns in the table
Describe your preferred solution

"Typical" qceff.csv for a model
not sure if this would be per-model, or per component, e.g. ocean models have "typical" qceff options, atm models have "typical" qceff options.
Is qceff a "set it and forget it" thing? bounded qty, bnrh?

Describe any alternatives you have considered

better interface for qceff, but this is unclear what is required. e.g. is it set and forget.

Research direction

Start by clarifying how QCEFF tables are currently created and which columns users must provide. Resolve whether a typical qceff.csv should be per model or component, and whether settings such as bounded quantities and bnrh are persistent. Done should include an agreed table scope, interface, and model or component coverage.
