Reduced Version of the DERF 2 Data Set on a Worm Optical Disk

摘要

The organization of the reduced DERF (Dynamic Extended Range Forecasting) dataset placed on the WORM (Write Once Read Many) optical disk cartridge so that a user may access the data through a high level language (such as FORTRAN) is described. Some compiled programs that are also provided with the disk to read and examine the data are described. The programs can be used only on Personal Computers (PCs) based on the Intel 80xxx chips often referred to as IBM compatible PCs.
