[MITgcm-support] MITgcm reading binary restarts

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (329D)]

pickup* files default to real*8

“readBinaryPrec = 32" does not apply to pickup* files

I noticed some of my runs have restart files that are Float64 but seem to be read correctly when I have “readBinaryPrec = 32” set in the data file. However, when I open them in Matlab, I need to have “real*8” specified in the “readbin” command otherwise the restart file just shows NaNs.
