netCDF reader for SuomiNet Product Files

Link to the code

• readnc.f
• readOne.f For reading one site.

It will ask for a file name, open the file, and read the data into Fortran arrays.
You have to provide code to use the data (e.g. print it out in a Format you like)
by replacing the commented section at the end of the program:

C
C       HERE IS WHERE YOU WRITE STATEMENTS TO USE THE DATA
C

This is not elegant FORTRAN, but it was generated quickly using the gennet.f program available from

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/gennet.f

It uses the old netCDF-2 Fortran interface instead of the superior Fortran 90 interface or netCDF-3 Fortran 77 interface, because that's what gennet.f, a contributed program that we don't maintain, currently generates.

To compile and link this program, assuming it's stored in a file named "readnc.f", use:

f77 -o readnc readnc.f -L/upc/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf

but you would have to change "/upc/netcdf/lib" to wherever your netCDF library is installed.

Then to use it, run readnc with no parameters ...
