MRGDAT
MRGDAT is a logical variable indicating whether sounding data is to be
merged or unmerged. The type of unmerged data follows a slash:
merge flag / unmerged data type
The valid unmerged data types are:
1 = mandatory data below 100 mb ( TTAA, PPAA, TRPA,
MXWA )
2 = mandatory and significant level data below 100 mb
( TTAA, PPAA, TRPA, MXWA, TTBB, PPBB )
3 = mandatory and significant level data below and
above 100 mb ( TTAA, PPAA, TRPA, MXWA, TTBB, PPBB,
TTCC, PPCC, TRPC, MXWC, TTDD, PPDD )
The default is 3. If the data is merged, the data type is ignored.
When MRGDAT is used to create a sounding file, it indicates whether
the file is to contain merged or unmerged data. Unmerged datasets
will store the data as separate parts. Merged data sets contain
values for each parameter at each level.
If MRGDAT is used in a program to list data, the data will be merged
if MRGDAT = YES. If MRGDAT = NO, the separate parts requested by the
type will be listed.
