Where is the GV function defined? We are looking at adding a higher resolution model that is larger than what the header record would support. Knowing where it's defined will help us adjust for the new model.

Can you please indicate what is the meteorological data that your are trying to use? We already have many data converters to the format required by the model so you do not have to modify the model's internal routines.

Please take a look at the api2arl.f program located under the data2arl/api2arl/ folder and see if that could help you with the data conversion.
