The Field Library

The Field library provides a high-level interface for reading and writing (climate) data fields. The library's design is object-based: this means that the major components reflect real-world concepts such as fields, grids, coordinates, and values. The library is implemented in Fortran 90. It consists of the following modules:

• Compression_Class
• Coordinate_Class
• DataFile_Class
• Error_Class
• Field1D_Class
• Field2D_Class
• Field3D_Class
• Field_Class
• FillValue_Class
• Grid2D_Class
• Grid3D_Class
• IntegerValue_Class
• LogicalValue_Class
• RealValue_Class
• StringValue_Class
• TimeCoordinate_Class
• TimeSeries_Class
• Unit_Class
