<div>
<div>Good afternoon everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am attempting to read in a .ieeer8 file using NCL so that it can be plotted. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am completely new with binary files, so bear with me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand that this is a binary file, so visualization and reading it is much more complicated than it would be with netCDF’s. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After having looked over the instructions on the NCL site, I am still having some confusion with how to get started.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Specifically, I have these questions:</div>
<ol>
<li>Will the fbindirread work to read in a .ieeer8 file (I am assuming the file is fortran as it is a restart file for CESM1’s POP2)?</li><li>How do I know what data is stored on the file prior to reading it in (i.e. Variables)? Or is this even possible?</li></ol>
<div>Any help would be greatly appreciated with this, and I am happy to provide more information if it is required.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
