Help on EASE-Grid Weekly Snow Cover data

Mon Jul 4 02:59:59 EDT 2005

Hello,

I have a slightly out of topic query. I am trying to convert the Northern
Hemisphere EASE-Grid Weekly Snow Cover and Sea Ice Extent Version 2, to
Grads format, which is written in Flat binary files with arrays of 721
columns by 721 rows of 1-byte unsigned integers.

My query is, whether it is possible to read it as 1-byte integers in
fortran, than reading it as character?

If anyone has faced this problem before, please let me know how you have
resolved it.

Thanks in advance
Prince
