LMDZ/bin LMDZ/bin#

Description#

Reads/writes LMDZ-DISPERSION surface fluxes stored as raw Fortran unformatted binary files, on the LMDZ physical vector grid (nlat x nlon cells flattened in row order, as defined by the LMDZ/std domain plugin).

Each binary record stores a pair of forward and tangent-linear real values per grid cell; files are read one whole day at a time and daily timestamps are attributed to successive records.
