     "In the following, we will show how to create the `dimensions` dictionary for 3D NEMO simulations. What you require is a 'mesh_mask' file, which in our case is called `coordinates.nc` but in some other versions of NEMO has a different name. In any case, it will have to contain the variables `glamf`, `gphif` and `depthw`, which are the longitude, latitude and depth of the mesh nodes, respectively. Note that `depthw` is not part of the mesh_mask file, but is in the same file as the w data (`wfiles[0]`).\n",

So even though these tracers are computed by NEMO on the T-points, Parcels expects them on the f-points (`glamf`, `gphif` and `depthw`). Parcels then under the hood makes sure the interpolation of these tracers is done correctly.\n",
