Pseudo-global example files

The surf_pseudoglobal.nc and landuse_pseudoglobal.nc files included with dapper are spatially cropped subsets of full, ELM-compatible global surface and transient land-use datasets. They retain the source variables and dimensions needed by the tutorials, but cover only the small example region. “Pseudo-global” refers to this limited geographic coverage, not to a different file format or sampling method.

These files are suitable for tutorials, tests, and domains contained within their retained area. For production domains elsewhere, provide the appropriate full global NetCDF as src_path when calling Domain.export_surface or Domain.export_landuse. Check the source LATIXY and LONGXY extent before sampling: a cropped file cannot supply cells outside its bounds or the surrounding cells needed for a spatial average at its edge.
