Enabling the netCDF Capability

Subroutine WRITENET (file writenet.f) provides the capability to output binary data in the netCDF standard format (see §9.3). In order to use this routine (instead of dummywritenet.f), it is necessary to take the following steps:gif

  1. Have netCDF already installed on your system (check with your system administrator).
  2. Find out where netcdf.inc is located and edit the include statement in writenet.f to specify the correct path to netcdf.inc.
  3. Find out where the libnetcdf.a library is located, and edit the Makefile so that the variable LIBNETCDF specifies the correct path to this library.
  4. Edit the Makefile to ``comment out'' (with a # symbol in column 1) the line writenet = dummywritenet and ``uncomment'' (remove the # symbol) the line writenet = writenet so that writenet.f will be compiled instead of the dummy routine dummywritenet.f.
