Check for consistency in topography data. The presence of topography file is inferred from the pio_file pointer. If topography file is used, check that the "PHIS" variable, which denotes surface geopotential, is consistent with the surface geometric height in MPAS. Otherwise, if topography file is not used, check that the surface geometric height in MPAS is zero. (KCW, 2024-05-10)

Parse a stream name, which consists of one or more stream name fragments, and return the corresponding variable information as a list of var_info_type. Multiple stream name fragments should be separated by "+" (i.e., a plus, meaning "addition" operation) or "-" (i.e., a minus, meaning "subtraction" operation). A stream name fragment can be a predefined stream name (e.g., "invariant", "input", etc.) or a single variable name. For example, a stream name of "invariant+input+restart" means the union of variables in the "invariant", "input", and "restart" streams. Duplicate variable information in the resulting list is discarded. (KCW, 2024-06-01)
