    staggered_access: optionally reverse sign for access via opposite direction · a7460abb
    Michael Kuron authored
    When storing fluxes on a staggered grid, the usual sign convention is that
    fluxes point outward from the cell. Previously, we did not respect that as
    staggered_access("E") would return the same thing as staggered_access("W")
    would when called from the eastern-next cell. Now, when a field is declared
    as STAGGERED_FLUX, it returns an accessor with a prefactor of -1 in that
    case. The previous behavior where sign is not reversed is still useful when
    e.g. storing sums (e.g. mean values) instead of differenes (e.g. finite
    difference fluxes) on the staggered grid.
