652	Updates to EUM data reader	Ian Culverwell	Ian Culverwell	"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."	task	closed	normal	10.0	ropp_io	9.0	fixed
