Description
Recent changes to the PPF result in the need to update the eum2ropp reader. There are also some changes to the netCDF format enforced (sic) by EPS-SG management - namely, the use of the NC_STRING data type, new at netCDF-4, for character variables like units and global attributes, rather than the NC_CHAR data type that was used in earlier versions of netCDF. Apparently (C. Marquardt, pers. comm.) the nf90 fortran interface to netCDF still struggles with NC_STRING, so EUM have developed a workaround involving ropp_io routines.
This ticket is a placeholder for both changes.
