% readbin       : generic routine for reading binary files
% read_cs_bin   : read in cube sphere binary output
% read_cs_face  : read in a cube sphere face
% read_cs_ifjk  : read in specific indices for cube sphere configuration
% read_cs_index : read in horizontal-slice indices for cube sphere configuration
% writebin      : write N-D binary field
% ts2dte        : convert model time step to a date


% The following are examples of using the read* routines
% to read cube-sphere model output.  The following five examples produce
% identical results, but execution time and memory requirements differ.


% input parameters
fnam='THETA.0000374688.data';  % file name

% compute cube sphere horizontal-slice indices
tmp=reshape(1:(cx*6*cx),cx,6,cx);

% 1. example using readbin
tmp=readbin(fnam,[cx 6 cx 50],1,prec);
fld1=tmp(ix,face,jx,kx);

% 2. example using read_cs_bin
tmp=read_cs_bin(fnam,kx,prec,cx);
fld2=tmp(ix,face,jx,:);

% 3. example using read_cs_bin
tmp=read_cs_face(fnam,face,kx,prec,cx);
fld3=tmp(ix,jx,:);

% 4. example using read_cs_ifjk
fld4=read_cs_ifjk(fnam,ix,face,jx,kx,prec,cx);

% 5. example using read_cs_index
fld5=read_cs_index(fnam,ij_indices,kx,prec,cx);
