.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
9 |
Convert a Lagranto trajectory file
|
|
|
10 |
.I inpfile
|
|
|
11 |
from one format to another format; the new file is written to
|
|
|
12 |
.I outfile.
|
|
|
13 |
The formats are specified with an appendix to the filename, e.g. "trajectory.1" specifies format 1. If no appendix is given, format 1 is chosen.

.I inpfile
|
|
|
17 |
input trajectory file
|

|
20 |
output trajectory file (can be the same as inpfile).
|

.SH FORMATS
|
|
|
22 |
Formats must be specified with an appendix to the filename. If no appendix is given, format 1 is chosen.

23 |
.TP 5
|
|
|
24 |
.B .1
|
|
|
25 |
ASCII file; the trajectories are sorted according to their starting positions. Different trajectories are separated by a blank line. This format is the only one supported
|
|
|
26 |
by the Matlab and NCL visualisation scripts (see
|
|
|
27 |
.B lagrantohelp/visualisation).
|
|
|
28 |
.TP 5
|
|
|
29 |
.B .2
|
|
|
30 |
ASCII file; the trajectories are sorted according to their times. Different times are separated with a blank line.
|
|
|
31 |
.TP 5
|
|
|
32 |
.B .3
|
|
|
33 |
unformatted Fortran; this is the most efficient format, but least portable one.
|
|
|
34 |
.TP 5
|
|
|
35 |
.B .4
|
|
|
36 |
netCDF; portable and compact data format.
