The BATS vegetation, soil texture and soil color input datasets are in binary
form on the Cray, in /ccm/ccm2.1/T42/bats, and can be read using
the code in subroutine batsini (/ccm/ccm2.1/bats/src/batsini.F). In order
to correlate the values in these datasets to surface types, you need the NCAR
Tech Note "Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS) Version 1e as Coupled
to the NCAR Community Climate Model, NCAR/TN-387+STR, by Dickinson,
Henderson-Sellers and Kennedy. You can get a copy through Stephanie Shearer
at NCAR, (303) 497-1624.
