reading new variable from the restart file

[jpen]

Following this thread on adding a new variable to a restart file and this thread related to corresponding changes in the source. I included 'temperature' variable in the restarts for reading only. Attached is the xml file. However, I am unable to see any difference in the results after this change. The log.atmosphere.out file show the following:

* Requested field temperature is deactivated due to packages, or is a scratch variable.

1) Is the variable 'temperature' not read?
2) As I want to only read the variable from the restarts and not write, I have not made any changes in the mpas_atm_core.F file. Is this the reason?

Temperature is deactivated because its definition in the Registry -

<var name="temperature" type="real" dimensions="nVertLevels nCells Time" units="K"
description="temperature"
packages="jedi_da"/>

include the specific packages in which it is activated. If you remove the packages statement it should be available in the diag pool and be read in.
