+Two additional Diagnostic Files (forecast and assimilation) in Filter 
+which can be set with the namelist option (stages_to_write)

+  input    - writes out mean and sd if requested. for low order models
+             mean and sd are only inserted into restart files with a 
+             single time step.
+
+  forecast - contains the forecast and potentially the mean and sd for the,
+             this is mostly important for lower order models which cycle
+
+  preassim - before assimilation
+     * No Inf:             same as forecast
+     * Prior Inf:          the inflated ensemble and damped priorinf
+     * Post Inf:           same as forecast
+     * Prior and Post Inf: assimilated ensemble and damped priorinf
+
+  postassim - after assimilation (before posterior infation)
+     * No Inf:             same as analysis
