(ITYPE 1) $ LL Field defined on regular longitude-latitude $ or Cartesian grid. (ITYPE 2) $ Format types : AT Transfer field 'as is', performs tidal $ analysis on the time series (ITYPE 6) $ When using AT, another line should be added $ with the choice of tidal constituents: $ FAST or VFAST or a list: e.g. 'M2 S2' $ $ - Format type not used for field type 'DAT'. $ $ Time flag : If true, time is included in file. $ Header flag : If true, header is added to file. $ (necessary for reading, FALSE is used only for $ incremental generation of a data file.) $ 'WND' 'LL' T T $ $ Name of spatial dimensions------------------------------------------ $ $ NB: time dimension is expected to be called 'time' and must respect $ Julian or Gregorian calendar with leap day. $ longitude latitude $ $ Variables to use --------------------------------------------------- $ $ U V $ $ Additional time input ---------------------------------------------- $ $ If time flag is .FALSE., give time of field in yyyymmdd hhmmss format. $ $ 19680606 053000 $ $ Define data files -------------------------------------------------- $ $ The input line identifies the filename using for the forcing field. $ 'wind.nc' $ $ -------------------------------------------------------------------- $ $ End of input file $ $ -------------------------------------------------------------------- $
