3.5.1.1 History File Format
The structure of a history file is illustrated in
Figure 3.7. One history file contains up to
MFILT time samples, with each time sample consisting of three
header records followed by plat latitude data records (
plat is a Fortran parameter set
to the number of latitudes for a model run). A latitude data record is
composed of a latitude index, a longitude count, and all data fields
with the given latitude index. Details of the latitude data records
are discussed in "Latitude Data Records"
. History files are written to the disk sequentially and in machine
native binary format. Thus in general you will need to read history
tapes on the same machine that wrote them out.
