Re: Help: about short2flt

Also, as written, the line:

        sst = (/short2flt(sst)/)

will likely generate a "Assignment type mismatch..." error, as it
attempts to assign a float-array to a variable of type short. You'll
need a new variable (also, the (/.../) notation is not strictly
necessary):

        sstFlt = short2flt(sst)
