Re: reading binary

I had a binary file generated using FORTRAN that contains 
an array 357 by 624.
I had used NCL to read it with the following code, but 
still a bit confuse whether I had place the dimension 
order correctly as the order that is in the binary file.


The NCL code is as follows:
temp=fbindirread("/river/alim/forecast_verification/data/multi_sensor/4km/ml_WRF_080517_00z_24hr_resample", 
0, -1, "float")
rain = onedtond(temp,(/357,624/))

If the array were dimensioned (357,624) in the Fortran program, you would need (/624,357/) here in your NCL program. The order of the dimensions (but NOT the order of the data in memory!) is opposite between Fortran and NCL.
