PDAFomi_set_ncoord

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

The routine sets thisobs%ncoord. 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 'thisobs%ncoord' see the documentation of OMI observation modules.

The interface is:

  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_ncoord(thisobs, ncoord)

    TYPE(obs_f), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs   ! Observation type
    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: ncoord           ! Number of dimensions used for distance calculation

Note:

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