[ncl-talk] writing binary data

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Raj,

The short answer is no.  The function fbinrecwrite does not support mixed
data types, and this is the only function that can write Fortran sequential
unformatted records without a horrible kludge.  I recommend either text or
Netcdf formats for what you want to do.

You could look into calling a Fortran output subroutine from NCL, but that
would be more complicated than text or Netcdf formats.
