[MITgcm-support] [EXTERNAL] changing one entry in pickup files

[Paola Cessi]

Hi Dimitri,

I am using matlab. These are pickups files from the flt package, so I am not sure they are the same as the regular MITgcm pickups. They are written and read with the mdsio package.

I _think_ that what I need to change is the 9th entry of the “arr" array, i.e. arr(9) written/read by the routines mdsio_wr_rec_rl.F/mdsio_rd_rec_rl.F. That said, I don’t understand how to locate this variable given the .meta file (attached).

Many thanks,




Paola
