[ncl-talk] reading binary data

[Dennis Shea]

Did you look at the size of your file??

259200  2015161_highQc_aot550_eps.dat
^^^^^^^

float or integer are 4 bytes

4*180*360 = 259200     so **one** float or integer variable

You are using

   setfileoption("bin","readbyteorder","littleendian")

   var1 =
cbinread("./EPS_HQ/2015161_highQc_aot550_eps.dat",(/2,180,360/),"float")
   var2 =
cbinread("./EPS_HQ/2015161_highQc_aot550_eps.dat",(/2,180,360/),"integer")

For two integer or float variables the size should be:  259200 + 259200 =
518400

At the very least, you should have been getting an NCL error message about
wrong size.
