\section*{Introduction}
This document is a technical description of the different functions and subroutines which belong to cdfio.f90 and eos.f90 fortran 90 modules.
They are used basically in the core of the cdftools program either to perform the Netcdf I/O or to compute the equation of state for sea water.

\section{ cdfio module}
\subsection*{\underline{ TYPE variable}}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{TYPE variable}
\index{TYPE variable}
\begin{description}
\item[Structure:]  We defined a derived type for managing the variables attribute. It is defined as follow:
\begin{small}
\begin{verbatim}
  TYPE, PUBLIC ::   variable
      character(LEN=80)::  name
      character(LEN=80):: units
      real(kind=4)    :: missing_value
      real(kind=4)    :: valid_min
      real(kind=4)    :: valid_max
      real(kind=4)    :: scale_factor=1.
      real(kind=4)    :: add_offset=0.
      real(kind=4)    :: savelog10=0.
      character(LEN=80):: long_name
      character(LEN=80):: short_name
      character(LEN=80):: online_operation
      character(LEN=80):: axis
      character(LEN=80):: precision='r4'  ! possible values are i2, r4, r8
  END TYPE variable
\end{verbatim}
\end{small}
\item[Purpose:] This is used in the cdftools to avoid the former 'att.txt' file which held the variable attributes. Now, each
   program needing variables output in a netcdf file, must use a structure (or an array of structure) defining the name and attributes
   of the variable. This structure or array of structure is passed as argument to the following functions: {\tt createvar, putatt, getvarname}
\item[Example:] Self explaining example from cdfpvor.f90:
\begin{small}
\begin{verbatim}
....
  TYPE(variable), DIMENSION(3) :: typvar          !: structure for attribute
....
  ! define variable name and attribute
  typvar(1)%name= 'vorelvor' ; typvar(2)%name= 'vostrvor';  typvar(3)%name= 'vototvor'
  typvar%units='kg.m-4.s-1'   ; typvar%missing_value=0.  
  typvar%valid_min= -1000. ;  typvar%valid_max= 1000.
  typvar(1)%long_name='Relative_component_of_Ertel_PV'  
  typvar(2)%long_name='Stretching_component_of_Ertel_PV' 
  typvar(3)%long_name='Ertel_potential_vorticity'  
  typvar(1)%short_name='vorelvor';  typvar(2)%short_name='vostrvor'
  typvar(3)%short_name='vototvor'
  typvar%online_operation='N/A';  typvar%axis='TZYX'
  ncout =create(cfileout, cfilet, npiglo,npjglo,npk)
  ierr= createvar   (ncout ,typvar,3, ipk,id_varout )
  ierr= putheadervar(ncout, cfilet,npiglo,npjglo,npk)
 ....
\end{verbatim}
\end{small}
\end{description}

\subsection*{\underline{ INTERFACE putvar}}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{INTERFACE putvar}
\index{INTERFACE putvar}
\begin{description}
\item[Generic interface]  
\begin{small} \begin{verbatim}
  INTERFACE putvar
     MODULE PROCEDURE putvarr4, putvari2, putvarzo
  END INTERFACE
\end{verbatim} \end{small}
\item[Purpose:] This generic interface re-direct putvar call to either putvarr4 for real*4 input array, putvari2 for integer*2 input array, or
to putvarzo for degenerated 3D-2D arrays corresponding to zonal integration. It also redirect putvar to the reputvarr4 function, which allows to 
rewrite a variable in an already existing file.
\item[Example:] 
ierr = putvar(ncout, id\_varout(jvar) ,i2d, jk, npiglo, npjglo)   \\
... \\
ierr = putvar(ncout, id\_varout(jvar) ,sal, jk, npiglo, npjglo)  \\
Example for reputvarr4  \\
istatus=putvar(cfile,'Bathymetry',jk,npiglo,npjglo, kimin=imin, kjmin=jmin, ptab)


\end{description}


\subsection*{\underline{ FUNCTION closeout(kout )}}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{closeout}
\index{closeout}
\begin{description}
\item[Arguments:]  
INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: kout. Netcdf ID of the file to be closed.
\item[Purpose:] Close an open netcdf file, specified by its ID
\item[Example:]  istatus = closeout(ncout)
\end{description}

\subsection*{\underline{ FUNCTION ncopen(cdfile) }}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{ncopen}
\index{ncopen}
\begin{description}
\item[Arguments:]  
      CHARACTER(LEN=*), INTENT(in) :: cdfile ! file name \\
      INTEGER :: ncopen                      ! return status
\item[Purpose:] open file cdfile and return file ID
\item[Example:]  ncid=ncopen('ORCA025-G70\_y1956m05d16\_gridU.nc')
\item[Remark:] This function is usefull for editing an existing file. The return ncid can be used as the first argument of
      put var, for instance.
\end{description}

\subsection*{\underline{ FUNCTION copyatt(cdvar, kidvar, kcin, kcout )}}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{copyatt}
\index{copyatt}
\begin{description}
\item[Arguments:] \ \\
CHARACTER(LEN=*), INTENT(in) :: cdvar !: Name of the variable \\
INTEGER,INTENT(in) :: kidvar   !: var id of variable cdvar \\
INTEGER,INTENT(in) :: kcin     !: ncid of the file where to read the attributes \\
INTEGER,INTENT(in) :: kcout     !: ncid of the output file.
INTEGER            :: copyout   !: function return value: return an error status.
\item[Purpose:] Copy all the attributes for one variable, taking the example from another file, specified by its
ncid. Return the status of the function. If $\neq$ 0, indicates an error.
\item[Example:] \ \\
\begin{verbatim}
    istatus = NF90\_DEF\_VAR(icout,'nav\_lon',NF90\_FLOAT,nvdim(1:2),id\_lon) 
    istatus = copyatt('nav\_lon',id\_lon,ncid,icout)
\end{verbatim}
\item[Remark:] This function is used internally to cdfio, in the function create.
\end{description}
\newpage

\subsection*{\underline{ FUNCTION create(cdfile, cdfilref ,kx,ky,kz, cdep) }}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{create}
\index{create}
\begin{description}
\item[Arguments:]\ \\
CHARACTER(LEN=*), INTENT(in) :: cdfile    !: name of file to create \\
CHARACTER(LEN=*), INTENT(in) :: cdfilef   !: name of file used as reference for attributes \\
INTEGER,INTENT(in) :: kx, ky, kz  !: value of the dimensions x, y and z (depth) \\
CHARACTER(LEN=*), OPTIONAL, INTENT(in) :: cdep !: name of depth variable if differs from cdfile\\
INTEGER            :: create      !: function return value : the ncid of created variable.
\item[Purpose:] Create a netcdf file (IOIPSL type) and copy attributes for nav\_lon, nav\_lat, depth and time\_counter
from the reference file given in argument. It is supposed that the reference file is also IOIPSL compliant. For historical
reason, there many different names for the depth dimension and variable. If we want to create the new data set with a depth
name that differs from the reference file, the cdep optional argument can be used.
The return value of the fuction is the ncid of the file just created.
\item[Example:] \ \\
\begin{verbatim}
 ! create output fileset 
  cfileout='cdfmoy.nc' 
  cfileout2='cdfmoy2.nc' 
  ! create output file taking the sizes in cfile  
  
  ncout =create(cfileout, cfile,npiglo,npjglo,npk) 
  ncout2=create(cfileout2,cfile,npiglo,npjglo,npk) 
\end{verbatim}
or
\begin{verbatim}
 ! create output fileset 
  cfileout='w.nc' 
  ! create output file taking the sizes in cfile  
  
  ncout =create(cfileout, cdfile,npiglo,npjglo,npk,'depthw') 
\end{verbatim}

If $cdvar$ is not found in $cdfile$, then a list a available variables is displayed and the

variable name, and is made available to the calling program.

This function is intended to be used with prognostic variables of the model, which are
defined in the file either as [TZXY] (3D variable) or as [TXY] (2D variable). The time
dimension is not considered. Erroneous results are produced if the variables is [ZXY] or [XY].

This is usefull for f-points results whne no basic ''gridF'' files exist. If the third optional argument is given, it is
taken as the depht(:) array in place of the the depth read in cdfile.  If all 3 optional arguments are used, cdfile will
not be used and a dummy argument can be passed to the function instead.  If optional argument cdep is used, it is then used as the name 
for the variable associated with the vertical dimension.
