subroutine writediagsoil(ngrid,name,title,units,dimpx,px)

! Write variable 'name' to NetCDF file 'diagsoil.nc'.
! The variable may be 3D (lon,lat,depth) subterranean field,
! a 2D (lon,lat) surface field, or a simple scalar (0D variable).
!
! Calls to 'writediagsoil' can originate from anywhere in the program;
! An initialisation of variable 'name' is done if it is the first time
! that this routine is called with given 'name'; otherwise data is appended
! (yielding the sought time series of the variable)

! Modifs: Aug.2010 Ehouarn: enforce outputs to be real*4
