[ncl-talk] felxpart output data processing

[Guido Cioni]

Hey Yan,
I'm pretty sure this question is not NCL specific :) It is really hard for people that don't know what you're working on and what "Flexpart" is to help you... Also, the most important rule of NCL is "know your data". I think you shold ask before who is responsible for the model.

P.S. The files contained in your RAR archive were, respectively:

trajectories.txt:             			text/plain; charset=us-ascii
header_nest:                  			application/octet-stream; charset=binary
header:                       			application/octet-stream; charset=binary
dates:                        			text/plain; charset=us-ascii
grid_initial_001:             			application/octet-stream; charset=binary
grid_time_20150622000000_001: 	application/octet-stream; charset=binary

file -I * is your friend. In order to read binary files in NCL see http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/r-binary.shtml <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/r-binary.shtml>. ASCII files can be read as well: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/asciiread.shtml <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/asciiread.shtml>.

But I don't know the accurate format of my output data, for it has no filename extension. Another reason is that, I didn't find the Data description file. I tried to add .nc or .grib to open them, but it failed.
