[ncl-talk] Output not correct while using write_matrix

[Dennis Shea]

You should read the fortran documentation for formatting.

The number to the left of the decimal point specifies the overal field
wield width.
There should be one space for a possible - sign

52f9.1

overall width is 9, and one decimal point
