Hi,
I am writing a fortran program to convert netcdf data to ASCII.
my netcdf description for olr
short olr(time, lat, lon) ;
olr:long_name = "Daily OLR" ;
olr:valid_range = 0.f, 500.f ;
olr:actual_range = 64.75f, 344.5f ;
olr:units = "W/m^2" ;
olr:add_offset = 327.65f ;
olr:scale_factor = 0.01f ;
olr:missing_value = 32766s ;
olr:var_desc = "Outgoing Longwave Radiation" ;
olr:precision = 2s ;
olr:dataset = "NOAA Interpolated OLR" ;
olr:level_desc = "Other" ;
olr:statistic = "Mean" ;
olr:parent_stat = "Individual Obs" ;
So I should read the olr values as integer (is that right). What does the short
mean? And also what does the precision = 2s mean. Because when i read i get -ve
values for the olr, but the valid range is 0.0 - 500.0.
Thanking you,
Nilesh
