Description
I've run a multi-instance forecast (cesm3_0_beta05) to see the output files,
and I see that MOM6 puts the instance number in a different place than the other components.
${CASE}.mom6.r.1850-01-01-10800 ._0001. nc
${CASE}.cam _0001 .r.1850-01-02-00000.nc
and not even in a consistent place (here it's before the date):
${CASE}.mom6.h.Drake_Passage ._0001 .1850-01.nc.0033
I think that it makes sense to attach the instance number to the component name,
because an instance is an independent copy of that component,
but I don't know how difficult it would be to do that.
That also avoids the slightly awkward '._' notation.
It's very helpful when dealing with large numbers of files and file types
from multiple components if all components use the same naming convention.
