Program GISTOM3

Summary

Read multiple GIS "raster" (GRIDDED) files from one of the supported GIS formats and write the contents to a time independent GRIDDED I/O API file.

Usage

        setenv  LLFILE    <path name for Lat-Lon file (e.g., GRID_CRO_2D)>
        setenv  FILELIST  <path name for input ASCII file-list>
        setenv  GRIDFILE  <path name for output I/O API gridded file>
    

For each file in FILELIST

        setenv <file-name>  <path name>
    

Then

        gistom3 [and answer the prompts]
    

where

${FILELIST} is list-formatted (quoted strings) with one input file per line, with

        <file-name> <vble-name> <units> <description> <type>
        

Input files already on the output map-projection and grid (from LLFILE)
type is one of {BIL BIL2 BIL4 FLT, ZBIL, ZBIL2, ZBIL4, ZFLT, ASCI, ASCR, ARCI, ARCR, ARCE}
LEN( *-name ), LEN( units ) are at most 16
