(READ_DECODE_HYB)

FSTD



INTEGER FUNCTION READ_DECODE_HYB(iun,nom,ip2,ip3,etik,datev,ptop,pref,rcoef)
integer iun,ip2,ip3,datev real rcoef,pref,ptop character*4 nom character*12 etik
DESCRIPTION To derive hybrid reference values given a selected FSTD record
Authors: Vivian Lee/Michel Valin - February 2002
ARGUMENTS

Output:
READ_DECODE_HYB returns the KEY of FSTD record found if successful, else -1
ptop average pressure at the top (mb)
pref reference pressure in mb (normally = 800mb)
rcoef coefficient (1.0 to 2.0)
Input:
iun unit number for input file to read from
nom variable name for search
ip2 ip2 value for search reference
ip3 ip3 value for search reference
etik label for search reference
datev date of validity for search reference

EXAMPLE:

*For search ignoring datev, ip2,ip3 (more standard)
key = read_decode_hyb(iunout,'HY ',-1,-1,etiket,-1,ptop,pref,rcoef)

*For search using ip2,ip3,and datev (if need be)
deltat=(deet*npas+1800)/3600
call incdat(datev,dateo,deltat)
key = read_decode_hyb(iunout,'HY ',ip2,ip3,etiket,datev,ptop,pref,rcoef)
