Description
Kjartan Kinch (DMI) discovered that these coefficients are being held at different precision in OCC (8 decimal places, from ascii file) and ROPP (read in from ascii file as single precision, then promoted to double precision before being written out to netCDF file).
By reading them in as DP in ropp_pp/msis_bangle/MSIS_ascii2netcdf.pro we obtain a netcdf file at equivalent precision.
