Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
This only concerns user's of NCO on the Cray T90 Reliable reports indicate that NCO on must be compiled with the -DC_ONLY flag on the Cray T90; otherwise incorrect answers may result. It appears that NCO assumes the wrong equivalence for the default sizes of either floating point or integer types on the T90, and that passing data between the Fortran and C halves of NCO is therefore causing problems. Without access to a T90, I cannot verify exactly what is happening, but avoiding the C-Fortran interface problems by compiling with -DC_ONLY appears to fix the problem. Compiling with -DC_ONLY replaces all NCO Fortran code with C code. The only downside to using -DC_ONLY is that averaging performance may decrease somewhat since the C averaging code may need to perform more pointer arithmetic than the Fortran code (depending on the compiler). Due to problems such as this, 100% C code will probably be the default in future versions of NCO.
