C	This is a sample program that will read netCDF data files
C	from NOAA/ESRL PSD.
C
C	In order to run the code you must have the netCDF and UDUNITS
C	libraries installed from UniData.
C
C		netCDF can be found at
C		http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/index.html
C
C		UDUNITS can be found at
C		http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/index.html
C
C	Don't forget to add them -lnetcdf and -ludunits options to the compile
C	or load command line.
C
C	There are four things that you must change to use this code
C	at your site.  Each place where you must make a change is
C	indicated with a comment of the form like the line below.
C	If you are working on a 64-bit platform, make sure your
C	udunits.inc file defines UD_POINTER to be integer*8.
C
C STEP 1.
C	Change the location of the netcdf.inc and udunits.inc include files
C	to match your installation. (Occurs in 4 places.)
C
C STEP 2.
C	Change the location of the udunits.dat file to match your system
C	installation.
C
C STEP 3.
C	Change PARAMETER values for ilon and jlat to match your file.
C	You can find out the sizes of the lon and lat dimensions by looking
C	at the output of ncdump -h .
C
C STEP 4.
C   Change the name of the input file to match the data file you want to read.
C   This is in the ncopn subroutine call.  Also, change the variable name in
C   the ncvid subroutine call right beneath the ncopn subroutine call.
C
C STEP 5.
C   Choose among the three different ways to read data and remove the comments
C	to get the code you need to do your job.
C
C NOTES:
C	Data is read in one 2D grid at a time in the same lat/lon order
C	it was stored.
C   The gridread subroutine returns the date of the grid read.

C    MAIN CODE
C
c
c This is the latitude, longitude dimension of the grid to be read.
c This corresponds to the lat and lon dimension variables in the netCDF file.
c
C STEP 3.
      parameter (ilon =360)
      parameter (jlat=180)

c
c The data are packed into short integers (INTEGER*2).  The array work
c will be used to hold the packed integers.  The array 'x' will contain
c the unpacked data.
c
C    DATA ARRAY AND WORK ARRAY
      real x(ilon,jlat)
      integer*2 work(ilon,jlat)

c
c Initialize the UDUNITS package.  You may need to change the location
c of the udunits.dat file to match your system.
c
C STEP 2.

       retcode=utopen('/usr/local/etc/udunits.dat')
C STEP 4.
c
c Below in the ncopen call is the file name of the netCDF file.
c You may want to add code to read in the file name and the variable name.
c
c The variable name is the netCDF variable name.  At PSD we name our files
c after the variable name.  If you follow that convention the variable name
c is the same as the first few letters of the file name (the letters up to
c but not including the first '.'.
C
C    OPEN FILE AND GET FILES ID AND VARIABLE ID(S)

      inet=ncopn('sst.mnmean.nc',0,icode)
      ivar=ncvid(inet,'sst',icode)
C STEP 5.
C Pick one of the following scenarios to match your needs.
C
C Comment out this section and remove the comment from one of
C the sections below.

        print*, 'Pick one of the three scenarios for your data.'
        print*, 'See STEP 5 in the comments.'
        stop 'Pick a scenario'
c
C Scenario 1.
C USE THIS LOOP TO READ THE FIRST 'NTIME' TIME STEPS FROM A FILE
C WITH ONLY ONE LEVEL.  IF THE FILE ONLY HAS ONE LEVEL SET ILEV TO 0.
C
C       ntime = 5
C       ilev = 0

C          print*,x(2,2),x(72,36),ny,nm,nd,nh
C       enddo
C
C Scenario 2.
C USE THIS LOOP TO READ THE FIRST 'NTIME' TIME STEPS FROM A FILE
C WITH 'NLEV' LEVELS IN IT.  EACH PASS THROUGH THE LOOP WILL RESULT
C IN A GRID AT LEVEL ILEV, AND TIME STEP NTIME.
C

c     ntime = 5
c     nlev = 17
c
c     do it=1,ntime
c       do ilev = 1, nlev

c          print*,x(1,1),ny,nm,nd,nh
c       enddo
c     enddo

c
C Scenario 3.
c THIS CODE BLOCK WILL READ A SPECIFIC TIME AND DATE FROM THE FILE.
c

c
c Set the time of the grid to be read.
c

      ny = 1995
      nm = 3
      nd = 6
      nh = 12

c
c Set this to 0 for a file with one level, loop over it to get all levels,
c or set it to the index of a specific level.
c
c     ilev = 5

c     call timeindex(inet,ny,nm,nd,nh,it)
c     call gridread(inet,ivar,it,x,jlat,ilon,ilev,ny,nm,nd,nh,work)

c
c The value of ny, nm, nd, and nh have been overwritten with the
c values for the grid just read.
