%  Add chlorophyll in a CROCO initial file.
%  take seasonal data for the surface levels and extrapole 
%  using Morel and Berthon (1989) parameterization for the
%  lower levels. warning ! the unit is (micro mole/l) in the
%  dataset.
%  do a temporal interpolation to have values at initial
%  time.
