CABLE - CSIRO Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange model

I have fluxes provided by Chris Lu and Rachel Law that I want to use to investigate differences in NEE over Australia, particularly in comparison to CarbonTracker.

These fluxes are currently on a land only grid, with hourly resolution. The grid is 0.5x0.5°, so potentially 720 x 360 (=259200 points). File size is saved by only including land point fluxes (it is a biosphere model, after all), leaving 62433 point.

Of course, this creates the headache of mapping the flux to the correct grid point, especially as the lat/lon coordinates are not given for each netCDF file, except for the original 0.5x0.5° resolution. So I will regrid to 0.5x0.5° (basically map the flux to match the corresponding points if it is a land point, or set to 0 if not). Then I can worry about aggregating to other resolutions.
