Re: Read RIP4 Trajectories by NCL

An undocumented binary file would require 'someone' to
spend considerable time trying to make sense of the structure
and variable types. Further, is it big or little endian?

There is one RIP documentation available. Not sure if this
is appropriate for the trajectory file.

maybe the WRF people would know how to read this binary
