PDAFomi_set_disttype

This page documents the routine PDAFomi_set_disttype of PDAF. The routine was introduced by PDAF version 2.3.1.

The routine sets thisobs%disttype. It avoids to directly initialize elements of the data type 'thisobs' in the code, which can be problematic in some programming languages.

For details on 'disttype' see the documentation of OMI observation modules.

The interface is:

  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_disttype(thisobs, disttype)

    TYPE(obs_f), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs     ! Observation type
    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: disttype           ! Type of distance calculation

Note:

• When using Fortran, one can also initialize thisobs%disttype directly
