fwrite, multiple variables, multiple levels, multiple times

[Charles Seman]

Dorita,

According to this GrADS web site:

http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html#structure

the innermost loop should be vertical levels, then variables, and time
should be the outermost loop.

I hope this helps,
Chuck
