Ah. Thanks for the info. I asked because some of the physicists and
atmospheric scientists I work with are likely to insist on having
FORTRAN. I still have not figured how I will deal with that if at
all.
I thought those folks used languages like Matlab & Mathematica for
analysis, modeling, etc. At least those were what we used in the
physics department @ RPI.
Some of the scientists use those tools, but I am looking first at the
primary models like WRF <Weather Forcast>, CMAQ <Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality>, etc.,
These are all written in FORTRAN 90/95/RatFOR, but some of the
underlying tools are written in C/C++, but only a few. If you can show
me a Matlab Global Circulation Model (even for a single cell, but which
accounts for the vertical profile and pressure) I'll arrange to buy you
a beer or your favorite beverage.
I know of some of the energy budget models <ex:

and similar things, but I would prefer to port something to HPD9 that
is a little more substantial. I want to couple various other models
like plant growth and survivorship, economics, etc.
