#  script for generating a climatological chlorophyll field for the 0.1 tripole
#    grid from SeaWiFS 4096x2048 monthly average data.
#    written by Mathew Maltrud, LANL, April 18, 2008.

#  first, convert the netcdf file to double precision direct access binary

#  next, extend the field into missing points to account for differing
#    coastlines between data and model grids.  we don't want to do too many
#    iterations on the laplacian smoother since missing points aren't
#    just land, but also places where there shouldn't be any chlorophyll.
