Mahakur,
The easiest way is to use a Netcdf built-in feature called automatic type
conversion.
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/data_type.html#type_conversion
The library will automatically read 16-but ushort integers into default
32-bit signed integer fortran arrays. The library will perform the type
conversion for you. This way, you simply declare a default integer array,
then call the Netcdf read function. Since the variables are unsigned short
in the file, the result in fortran will be all non-negative integers in the
16-bit unsigned range, which is 0 to 65535.
use netcdf
integer ncId, varId, status
integer array(dim1,dim2,dim3)
...
status = nf90_get_var (ncid, varid, array)
if (status /= nf90_NoErr) call handle_err (status)
