Hi, Ben, how are you doing?

The UARS data is ready now. I put it into /d/dwu/timesproc and named it as
uars154.dat. It's a ASCII file that is about twice as large as a binary file.
The reason I did not write it in binary is because there was a problem when
doing ftp between VAX and UNIX.  

I've tested the data file using read.f and it can read it without problem.
You may find read.f helpful in writing your own reading code.

The format used in the data file is described as follows:

output code:
	WRITE(20,*)MREC,MALT
	WRITE(20,2)(ALT(J),J=1,MALT)
	DO I=1,MREC
	WRITE(20,1)TIME(I),LAT(I),LON(I),SZA(I),SLT(I)
	WRITE(20,2)(ZONAL(I,J),J=1,MALT)
	WRITE(20,2)(MERI(I,J),J=1,MALT)
	ENDDO
1	FORMAT(1X,i8,4F12.2)
2	FORMAT(1X,10F8.1)

where

mrec --- total # of measurements in a day
malt --- # of altitude grid
alt  --- altitude (km)
time --- universal time in millisecond
lat  --- latitude (-90,90)
lon  --- longitude (0,360)
sza  --- solar zenith angle (0,90)
slt  --- solar local time (0,24)
zonal--- zonal component (m/s)
meri --- meridional component (m/s)

Hope that these will give you enough information on where and when the HRDI 
measurements were taken. If you need anything, let me know.

How is the Dr. Roble's model going? Wonder if we can make some comparisons
by the middle of November, i.e., the Chapman conference in California. I'm
awared that Dr.Robel will be there, too. 

I'd like to thank you again for what you did for me when
I was in Boulder. Talk to you later. So long!
