.SH DESCRIPTION
15
Rotate the longitude and latitude coordinates from their true geographical values into their values in a rotated coordinate system. The rotation can be done either for a single <lon/lat> point or for a complete trajectory file <inpfile>. In the latter case, a new trajectory <outfile> file with rotated longitude and latitude is written.

.SH PARAMETERS
17
.TP 15
18
.I inpfile 
19
input trajectory file (with true lon/lat)
20
.TP 15
21
.I outfile
22
output trajectory file (with rotated lon/lat)
23
.TP 15
24
.I lon lat
25
true longitude and latitude
26
.SH OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
27
.TP 15
28
.I -lonlat pollon pollat
29
specify the coordinates (pollon, pollat) of the rotated north pole
30
.TP 15
31
.I -file filename
32
get the coordinates of the rotated north pole from the file <filename>. The file must be a netCDF file, either a constants or a P,S file.

.SH EXAMPLES
34
.TP 15
35
.B [1] geo2rot -lonlat -170 45
36
sets the rotated north pole to 170 W and 45 N. The new position is written to the file <geo2rot.pole>.
37
.TP 15
38
.B [2] geo2rot 45 50 
39
takes coordinate (lon/lat)=(45/50) and rotates it to the rotated coordainte system. The position of the rotated pole is read from the file <geo2rot.pole>.
40
.TP 15
41
.B [3] geo2rot 45 50 -file eraint_cst
42
rotates (lon/lat) = (45/50) to the new system - the new pole position is read from the file <eraint_cst>. 
43
.TP 15
44
.B [4] geo2rot trainp traout
45
read the trajectory file <trainp> and rotate all coordinates. The trajectory file with rotated coordinates is written to <traout>. 
46
.TP 15
47
.B [5] geo2rot
48
write the pole position to screen.
