SFOUTF
SFOUTF is the output surface data file.
SFOUTF is used in programs which create a new surface data file.
It is also used in programs in which data is moved from an input
file to an output file, in which case, SFFILE is the original file.
When used with program NAMSND, SFOUTF can be used to specify two
output surface files. This is done by appending a + to the output
file name. In this case, the second file will have the same name
as the first, with the suffix _aux. The second file will contain
surface data for the diagnostic or overflow parameters listed in
the auxiliary surface packing file (described in SFPRMF). For
example,
SFOUTF = new.sfc+
will create output files new.sfc and new.sfc_aux, if both a primary
and an auxiliary surface packing file have been provided.
