MODULE  utilities

!==============================================================================
!
! Description:
!   This module provides service utilities for the model. All routines are 
!   written in a manner that also other models can use it. That means:
!     - no routine uses other modules, except the declarations for the 
!       KIND-type parameter; the data access is by parameter list only
!     - no routine allocates dynamic memory; work space needed is
!       provided via the parameter list
!     - no derived data types are used
!
!   Routines (module procedures) currently contained:
!
!     - convert_month:
!       Converts a 3-character string abbreviation of a month into the number
!       of the month or vice versa.
!
!     - dfilt4:
!       Digital filter of length 4
!
!     - dfilt8:
!       Digital filter of length 8
!
!     - dolph:
!       Calculates the Dolph-Chebyshev window for the initialization
!
!     - elapsed_time:
!       Returns the elapsed wall-clock time in seconds since the last call.
!       On the first call the variables are only initialized. If no system
!       clock is present, an error-value will be returned
!
!     - get_utc_date:
!       Calculates the actual date using the date of the forecast-start and 
!       the number of timesteps performed.
!
!     - horizontal_filtering
!       horizontal filtering (at the moment especially for the pressure deviation)
!
!     - phirot2phi:
!       Converts phi from the rotated system to phi in the real
!       geographical system.
!
!     - phi2phirot:
!       Converts phi from the real geographical system to phi
!       in the rotated system.
!
!     - rlarot2rla:
!       Converts lambda from the rotated system to lambda in the real
!       geographical system.
!
!     - rla2rlarot:
!       Converts lambda from the real geographical system to lambda 
!       in the rotated system.
!
!     - sleve_split_oro
!       Decomposes a given topography field in a large-scale and a small-scale
!       part according to the definition of the SLEVE coordinate
!
!     - smoother:
!       Smoothes a 2-D field by applying digital filters
!
!     - tautsp:
!       Computes tension splines
!
!     - tautsp2D:
!       Computes tension splines for several columns
!
!     - to_upper:
!       Converts alphabetic characters from lower to upper case.
!
!     - uvrot2uv:
!       Converts the wind components u and v from the rotated system
!       to the real geographical system.
!
!     - uvrot2uv_vec:
!       the same as above, but for a whole 2D field (in vectorized form).
!
!     - uv2uvrot:
!       Converts the wind components u and v from the real geographical
!       system to the rotated system.
!
!     - uv2uvrot_vec:
!       the same as above, but for a whole 2D field (in vectorized form).
!
!     - uv2df:
!       Converts the wind components u and v to wind direction and speed.
!
!     - uv2df_vec:
!       the same as above, but for a whole 2D field (in vectorized form).

SUBROUTINE elapsed_time    (realtimedif, istat)

!
! Description:
!   Returns the elapsed wall-clock time in seconds since the last call. On

!
! Method:
!   The intrinsic function SYSTEM_CLOCK is used, that returns the number of
!   clock counts since some system dependent event in the past (e.g. midnight
!   for a 24-hour system clock). The difference of clock counts since the last
!   call is determined and converted into seconds. The variables "lfirst"

!+ Function for rotation of geographical coordinates
!------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUNCTION  phirot2phi ( phirot, rlarot, polphi, pollam, polgam )

!------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! Description:
!   This function converts phi from one rotated system to phi in another
!   system. If the optional argument polgam is present, the other system
!   can also be a rotated one, where polgam is the angle between the two
!   north poles.
!   If polgam is not present, the other system is the real geographical
!   system.
!
! Method:

! Description:
!     decomposes a given topography field hsurf in a
!     large-scale (hsurfs(:,:,1)) and a small-scale (hsurfs(:,:,2)) part, where
!     hsurf(:,:) = hsurfs(:,:,1) + hsurfs(:,:,2)
!
! Method:
!     - a digital filter is applied for the computation of
!       the large scale part hsurfs(:,:,1).
!     - the boundary values are treated seperately to assure, that
!       also these points are smoothed:
!       i.e. at the i=1    boundary: A(1,j)    = A(2,j)      for all j
!                   i=idim boundary: A(idim,j) = A(idim-1,j) for all j
!                   j=1    boundary: A(i,1)    = A(i,2)      for all i
!                   j=jdim boundary: A(i,jdim) = A(i,jdim-1) for all i
!     - nflt determines, how often the filter is applied
!     - Additionally, the maxima of hsurf, hsurfs(:,:,1) and hsurfs(:,:,2) are
!       computed and written to noutunit.
