Due to the new `Bi-directional metadata exchange`_, the input and output `Grid specifications`_ do not need to be given by the user.

Time integration and averaging
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
For the coupling of models with vastly different time steps, we provide adapters that integrate over the last time step of the target component.
:class:`SumOverTime <.adapters.SumOverTime>` sums up over the last time step, converting units per time to absolute units.
:class:`AvgOverTime <.adapters.SumOverTime>` calculates the time-weighted average over the last time step, converting units per time to absolute units.
